Case Study
Interstate Bridge Monitoring (Illinois)
Damage Detection Tech deployed wireless crack monitoring nodes across key joints and supports of an aging interstate bridge. The system identified recurring stress crack expansion during peak traffic hours. Early alerts prompted scheduled reinforcements, avoiding potential closure and improving traffic safety.
Case Study
High-Rise Foundation Assessment (California)
A commercial tower in a seismic zone required remote, real-time monitoring of foundation cracking. Wireless nodes from Damage Detection Tech integrated with the client’s cloud platform, helping engineers correlate crack growth to seismic events and take preemptive action.
Case Study
Tunnel Liner Surveillance (Ontario)
A transit authority in Ontario installed our wireless crack monitoring system within tunnel linings. The system’s reliability in low-light and high-moisture environments enabled efficient maintenance planning and ensured uninterrupted service during winter months.
