Institute of Engineering Geodesy and Measurement Systems (EGMS)

We develop and implement Structural Health Monitoring Systems for critical infrastructure objects like buildings, bridges or water dams. We have experience in the monitoring of landslides and bridges with external sensors (GPS, total stations, ...) and embedded sensors (fiber optic sensors, borehole inclinometers, ...) for more than 10 years. Our integrated monitoring systems are crucial to assess the structural safety of an object after extreme weather conditions, terrorist attacks and so forth. Based on the monitoring data we establish control and alert systems to inform users about the current state of health of the structure.
