Long-term structural monitoring for safety, stability and maintenance planning

Market challenge

  • Civil structures such as dams, tunnels, bridges and containment buildings are exposed to slow, often invisible displacements over time
  • These deformations may be caused by settlement, hydrological pressure, thermal effects, or seismic activity
  • Continuous, high-accuracy measurement is essential to detect early signs of degradation and to ensure long-term safety
  • Monitoring systems must be non-intrusive, highly stable, easy to install and maintain, often in remote or harsh environments

Our expertise

FOGALE Sensors offers proven and scalable structural monitoring systems, trusted by major operators in civil infrastructure:

  • Hydrostatic Levelling Systems (HLS) for continuous vertical displacement monitoring, with micrometric accuracy
  • Wire Positioning Systems (WPS) for bi-directional movement detection across long spans
  • Electronics with long-term drift immunity, no recalibration required
  • Compatible with dam galleries, tunnel vaults, bridge piers, and more
  • Flexible integration: from stand-alone kits to full monitoring networks

Proven applications

  • Detect structural movement at an early stage and plan maintenance proactively
  • Ensure safety and compliance with long-term deformation tracking
  • Monitor infrastructure remotely with robust and low-maintenance solutions
  • Benefit from scalable systems adapted to both new constructions and existing structures
  • Reduce operating costs and inspection time through permanent, automated sensing
