Structural Health Monitoring
Data-driven SHM systems using sensors and real-time analytics to continuously monitor structural condition and enable proactive, evidence-based maintenance.
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the data-driven successor to periodic visual inspection. ESG designs, deploys and interprets SHM systems for bridges, high-rise buildings and critical infrastructure — giving owners continuous visibility into structural behaviour and early warning of performance drift long before conventional inspection would detect it.
What We Deliver
Monitoring System Design
End-to-end SHM system architecture — sensor selection, placement strategy, data acquisition hardware, power and communications, cloud data pipeline, and dashboards tailored to the asset owner’s decision needs.
Sensor Deployment
Installation of strain gauges, accelerometers, tiltmeters, displacement transducers, temperature sensors, corrosion probes and fibre-optic systems on new-build and existing structures.
Data Analytics & Modal Analysis
Operational modal analysis, damage detection algorithms, threshold-based alerting and correlation of measured response against FE model prediction. Trend analysis over months and years.
Integration with FE Models
Calibrated digital-twin models updated with field data to support load rating, residual life assessment, and scenario analysis (e.g. overload events, ambient temperature extremes).
Decision Support Reporting
Monthly and annual reports translating raw sensor data into actionable engineering recommendations — what to inspect, what to repair, and what can safely be deferred.
