Sercel and Apave have launched AP’Structure, a structural health monitoring solution.
The solution will enable operators to monitor the integrity of entire buildings and infrastructure in real time, receive warnings about irregularities and prolong the life cycle of the infrastructure. AP’Structure deploys S-lynks, a newly launched autonomous wireless solution from Sercel for measuring structural vibration.
With its embedded ultra-sensitive QuietSeis sensor, S-lynks can measure a structure’s ambient noise. The wireless system is self-sustaining and can be deployed on all types of structures. The recorded data is then streamed to the cloud for processing and is immediately accessible for remote analysis.
Apave’s engineers and technicians will carry out expert analysis and interpretation of the recorded monitoring data using proprietary algorithms. This dynamic data is used to understand the behaviour of a structure, monitor its deterioration over time, trigger alerts if anomalies are detected that are not visible to the naked eye, and propose corrective measures.
Philippe Maillard, Apave CEO, said: ‘AP’Structure will enable operators to monitor the integrity of buildings and structures in real time so that they can anticipate and prioritize maintenance operations and prolong their life cycle.’
