Structural Integrity Monitoring
Stable structures are integral to the safety of all industrial plants. A structural integrity monitoring system plays an important role in ensuring safety remains a high priority during all stages of operation.
Structural Integrity Monitoring
Why is structural integrity monitoring important?
Ongoing monitoring provides essential data to support the continuing safety, performance and reliability of vital structures.
Real-time information can be used during normal operation, construction, repair or upgrades. Continuous monitoring helps identify potential issues early, allowing corrective action to be planned before problems escalate.
Monitoring helps teams understand:
How a structure behaves under real operating conditions
Whether changes in load, movement or vibration are developing
When corrective action, investigation or further analysis may be needed
How to support safety, assurance and long-term asset integrity

How AVT Can Help
Temporary and permanent monitoring systems for critical structures
AVT Reliability has extensive experience in designing and implementing both temporary and permanent monitoring systems for static structures such as buildings, towers and bridges, across onshore and offshore applications.
Our services include on-site measurement of real data, advanced analysis and assessment of structural behaviour throughout different operational stages. Using vibration, motion and force analysis, we help support structural safety and long-term performance.

Monitoring Applications
What can structural integrity monitoring be used for?
Structural integrity monitoring can be used to validate design assumptions, investigate problems, confirm safety, support lifetime extension and track changes in condition over time.
Validating designs
Test the behaviour of new structural designs under specific conditions using measured data.
Solving problems
Assess structural issues, understand behaviour and recommend practical engineering solutions.
Assurance
Confirm whether a structure is safe, fit for purpose and behaving as expected.
Lifetime extension
Monitor older installations beyond their original design life to support safe continued operation.
Long-term monitoring
Track condition changes over months or years to safeguard long-term structural integrity.

Monitoring can be delivered using temporary instrumentation for a single test, multi-channel logging over a defined period or permanent systems for long-term structural integrity assurance.
01
Short term
A one-off test using temporary instrumentation to collect data over seconds, minutes or hours.
02
Medium term
Data collected over days, weeks or months using temporary multi-channel logging systems, suited to changing weather, process or traffic conditions.
03
Long term
Permanent multi-channel systems collecting data for years, with options for real-time displays and remote access.
