OVERVIEW

Buildings are complex structures. From high-rise buildings, to arenas, stadiums, exhibition centers and historical monuments, these structures are comprised of numerous elements in constant flux with each other and the environment.


With MS Gecko’s Monitoring Systems our customers receive reliable data to help them improve their operations, plan for ongoing maintenance, and identify obsolete structures for replacement. A successful building-monitoring solution must consider the specific elements of the structure, requiring sophisticated planning, design and execution.


We have the knowledge and experience to establish baseline structural health reports, maintain long-term SHM factoring in equipment degradation, and perform rapid condition screening to provide near real-time diagnostics following extreme events.

6

Quick access to building safety information after a major event 


Evaluate possible damage and failures caused by extraordinary events such as earthquakes, impacts, strong winds, storms or explosions immediately after the adverse event.


SENSOR TYPES USED IN MS GECKO BUILDING HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM

Our philosophy is simple: the sensing system needs to match the reality of its environment. Given that a point in space has six degrees of freedom (DOF), our solution has been to match this complexity with an integrated combination of sensors that can be deployed to suit each customer’s unique needs.
  • 3DOF Inclinometers
  • 4DOF Accelerometers
  • Inertial modules 6-12 DOF
  • Strain gauges
  • Humidity sensors
  • Weather station
  • Piezometers
  • FBG and Distributed Fiber Optics

WHAT MONITORING APPROACH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?


 

The MS Gecko Structural Health Monitoring system can be deployed to effectively address both continuous monitoring and portable testing needs.

Customers seeking a dynamic system to perform diagnostics on the current health of a structure will achieve their goals with the MS Gecko system.

For customers looking to collect data and provide ongoing information on the behavior and health of their structure, the MS Gecko SHM platform is ideally suited for long-term monitoring needs.
