Case Study

These case studies highlight how GeoSitter's monitoring instruments, data management software and hydraulic jacks for pile load test excel in a number of projects.

Bridge Monitoring

GeoSitter combines structural health monitoring with loT structural system, cloud computing, local area network, communication network, and other technologies to establish an intelligent bridge health monitoring system, which plays a significant role in the daily maintenance, management, and emergency response of bridges. Based on cloud computing, the big data monitoring system can accommodate monitoring data of tens of thousands of structures such as foundation pits, bridges, tunnels, and slopes, forming a regional structural health monitoring platform to achieve unified monitoring and management of all structures in the region.
