Step 1 of 2

Distribution centers demand structural health monitoring to protect inventory and ensure operational continuity in high-volume logistics facilities. These large-scale warehouses face unique challenges from heavy equipment traffic, racking system loads, and foundation stresses that can compromise structural integrity. In regions with expansive soils or frequent seismic activity, distribution centers risk significant damage that could disrupt supply chains and cause inventory losses. Our monitoring systems track floor flatness, roof structural integrity, and foundation stability while accounting for the dynamic loads from automated material handling systems. We serve nationwide logistics providers, retailers, and manufacturers who require reliable facility performance for just-in-time operations.

Popular Services in This Sector

1

Floor Flatness and Settlement Monitoring

Maintains operational efficiency for automated guided vehicles. Critical for distribution centers where floor irregularities affect equipment performance.

2

Storage Racking System Monitoring

Detects racking deformation from heavy loads and seismic events. Essential for facilities storing high-value inventory in tall rack systems.

3

Roof and Ceiling Structure Monitoring

Monitors roof deflection and ceiling grid stability. Important for large clear-span facilities exposed to wind and snow loads.

4

Foundation Settlement Monitoring

Tracks gradual foundation movement affecting equipment alignment. Key for facilities built on variable soil conditions nationwide.

5

Equipment Vibration Impact Monitoring

Monitors vibrations from forklifts and conveyor systems. Critical for protecting sensitive automated sorting equipment.

6

Thermal Expansion and Contraction Monitoring

Tracks temperature-induced structural movements. Important for large facilities with varying environmental conditions.
