Structural monitoring can generate huge amounts of valuable data, but having the data and being able to use it effectively are two very different things. Engineers can find themselves waiting forever to access datasets, moving between different platforms and suppliers, exporting data to carry out further analysis, or struggling to get a clear picture across multiple monitored assets. This session will explore these practical challenges and what it takes to turn monitoring data into information that is easier to access, interrogate and use in day to day asset management.
This session focuses on a part of structural monitoring that is often overlooked: what happens after the sensors have been installed and the data starts arriving. It will look at the practical challenges engineers face when working with growing volumes of monitoring data, from access and analysis to multiple systems and portfolio wide visibility, and explore how these barriers can be reduced.
The discussion is grounded in 13 years of hands on structural monitoring experience, spanning sensor installation, data analysis and asset management, with practical examples from monitored critical infrastructure.
Key Takeaways:
- Explore the practical barriers that can make structural monitoring data difficult or time consuming to use, even when good quality monitoring is already in place.
- Consider how engineers can get faster access to the information and analysis they need without moving data between systems or relying on manual processes.
- Look at the challenges created when monitoring data sit across different suppliers and platforms, particularly as the number of monitored assets grows.
- Explore how monitoring information can be viewed more effectively at both individual structure and portfolio level.
- See practical examples of how monitoring data can be made more accessible and useful for day to day engineering and asset management decisions.
Target Audience:
This webinar is suitable for local authority professionals responsible for highway structures, bridges and structural asset management, particularly authorities already using monitoring sensors on critical assets.
