Cable-stayed bridges represent engineering marvels with their distinctive cable systems requiring specialized monitoring for cable tension, vibration, and corrosion. These structures feature towers connected to the deck by multiple stay cables that must maintain precise tension for stability. Wind-induced vibrations, cable corrosion, and foundation movements pose unique challenges. Environmental factors like humidity, temperature variations, and seismic activity affect cable performance. Our nationwide deployment covers cable-stayed bridges from urban crossings to long-span designs, providing owners with comprehensive data for maintaining these complex structural systems.
Popular Services in This Sector
Cable Tension Monitoring
Critical for maintaining proper cable forces that ensure bridge stability and prevent excessive deflections nationwide.
Vibration Damping Monitoring
Essential for detecting wind-induced vibrations that can cause fatigue in cables and structural elements across cable-stayed designs.
Corrosion Monitoring
Important for cables exposed to environmental conditions where corrosion can reduce load-carrying capacity over time.
Tower Deflection Monitoring
Key for tracking tower movement that affects cable angles and overall bridge geometry nationwide.
Cable Fatigue Monitoring
Vital for detecting stress concentrations and fatigue cracks in cable strands that compromise structural integrity.
Aerodynamic Stability Monitoring
Required for monitoring wind effects on long spans that can cause flutter or vortex shedding in cable-stayed bridges.
