Airports and air traffic control towers face unique structural monitoring challenges from aviation operations, environmental exposure, and safety-critical requirements. Wind loads on tall ATC structures demand continuous monitoring for stability, while aircraft-induced vibrations and ground movements require sophisticated sensor networks. Corrosion from coastal environments and de-icing chemicals accelerates deterioration of steel and concrete elements. Real-time monitoring ensures operational safety and supports FAA compliance across the nation's 19,000+ airports. Our nationwide deployment covers everything from major hubs like Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson to regional facilities, providing comprehensive structural health data for infrastructure owners and aviation authorities.
