The structures of a motorway infrastructure such as bridges, viaducts and tunnels degrade with age and use, so it is essential to monitor their structural health.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) involves observing and analysing a structure over time using periodically sampled measurements to monitor changes in the material and geometric properties of engineering structures such as bridges and other structures.

Long-term SHM provides periodically updated information on the structure’s ability to keep performing its intended function.

Sinelec has developed specific expertise to support the design and installation of sensors for monitoring works, and a specific monitoring software platform.
