Structural Health Monitoring Services (SHM) for Bridges and Infrastructure

Structural Health Monitoring Expertise in Australian and New Zealand

Sixense Oceania delivers Structural Health Monitoring through advanced instrumentation, automated data collection, and expert analysis.

Our services cover the full lifecycle, from monitoring design to long-term operation. We combine proven sensors with digital platforms to deliver reliable, decision-ready information.

This approach helps asset owners manage risk, safety, and performance across complex structures.
 
 

Why Structural Health Monitoring Is Critical for Infrastructure

Structural Health Monitoring is essential when assets are exposed to ageing, increased loads, or nearby construction. Continuous monitoring supports early detection of abnormal behavior and reduces unplanned interventions.

It enables informed decisions during construction, operation, and maintenance phases. These insights are critical where safety, service continuity, and asset value must be protected.
 
 

Typical Applications

Structural Health Monitoring is applied across a wide range of infrastructure and asset types, including:

  • Bridges and viaducts under traffic or environmental loading
  • Tunnels and underground structures during construction and operation
  • Buildings affected by nearby excavation or redevelopment works
  • Dams and hydraulic structures requiring long-term surveillance
  • Rail and transport assets exposed to vibration and fatigue
  • Industrial and energy structures operating in demanding environments

These applications support proactive maintenance and long-term asset performance.

Our solutions provide real-time insight into structural integrity

End-to-end structural health monitoring services include:

  • Monitoring design – risk‑based strategy, sensor selection and alert thresholds
  • Procurement – independent sourcing of appropriate structural sensors
  • Installation and commissioning – field deployment and system validation
  • Automated monitoring – continuous or targeted measurement programs
  • Monitoring software – secure platforms for visualisation and alerts
  • Data management and QA/QC – validated data and reliable early warning
  • Reporting – clear, audit‑ready outputs for stakeholders
  • Maintenance and troubleshooting – system reliability over time
  • Decommissioning – controlled removal and close‑out documentation

Our SHM Capabilities and Expertise

Force measurement in cables
Continuous monitoring of cable forces to assess load distribution, performance and long‑term structural behaviour.

Damping measurement
Measurement of structural damping characteristics to understand dynamic response and changes over time.

Stress measurement
Monitoring of stress levels in structural elements to identify load effects and support asset performance assessment.

Operational Modal Analysis (OMA)
Identification of natural frequencies, mode shapes and dynamic properties under operational conditions.

Detection of broken wires
Early detection of wire breaks in stay cables and tendons to support proactive maintenance and risk management.

Detection of voids and white paste
Monitoring techniques to identify anomalies within post‑tensioned systems, supporting integrity assessment and asset protection.
