Structural monitoring

Monitor bridges, slopes and water levels without a site visit

Structures are checked by hand, and slopes and tanks often stand far from power and the internet. CHESTER reads the sensors on site, runs for 3+ years on batteries and sends the data over LTE-M or NB-IoT, or through a satellite unit beyond coverage.

How it works

From the structure to your engineers

Sensors

Strain gauges, dilatometers, tilt

Wired inputs

HARDWARIO

CHESTER

Our IoT device, reads the sensors

LTE-M or NB-IoT

Reference

Statotest sells structural monitoring on its own firmware

Statotest’s sensors measure displacement, vibration and tilt. It writes its own firmware on the open CHESTER SDK, and we support it. At the town hall in Česká Lípa nine CHESTER units watch the roof and the tower.

“Our sensors deliver precise data on structural conditions, and in combination with the CHESTER platform, that data takes on an entirely new dimension.”

Adapted for you

We designed it, so we can change it

Statotest and DeltaVue build on the platform themselves. For Skanska we added an ultrasonic sensor, for ZAT a module for cathodic protection.
