Structural Monitoring Systems

Our structural monitoring systems bring a new flexible approach to accurate real-time measurement of deflections, loads, strain or temperatures, combining both advanced electronics and practical use on site. Up to four sensor signals can be transmitted via each 50 metre extension reel which can be extended up 200 metres away from the read-out module before requiring booster units. Each sensor channel has two fully configurable alarms which can be used to send either pre-recorded audio messages via a standard telephone line or operate buzzers/flashing beacon lights (if required). The sensor readings are normally viewed in real-time  from our standard 8-way digital read-out modules, alternatively we can offer specialist interface modules which provide both customised computer displays and data logger recording facilities.

LVDT-25 - We appreciate that movement transducers form a critical part of any jacking operation and we therefore only use the best aircraft transducers on the market which are then modified to our specification giving a precise measuring range of 25mm.

The gauge output signal can be transmitted up to 200 metres from the readout module via the  4-way extension reels, set-up in just a few minutes. The lvdt gauge is mounted within a water proof housing having its own LED display, input socket and magnetic base for easy mounting making them ideal for structural monitoring operations.

Lvdt gauges have an infinite resolution and can be calibrated to read in microns to measure strain (if required). A strong spring return ensures reliable readings every-time and the suspended plumb bob weight and wire enables direct connection to the actual structure.

Our standard 8-way display modules provide multiple real-time readings and can be easily configured to accurately monitor, load, movement, temperature or strain. Each channel has two fully configurable alarms which can be used to send either pre-recorded audio messages via a standard telephone line or operate buzzers or flashing beacon lights (if required).

Alternatively we can offer our computer interface modules with both advanced communications and accurate real-time measurement. Logged data can be viewed via the internet in real-time or historic CSV files which can be imported into other WindowsTM applications such as Excel or Word, web access requires just Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher.
