Food and beverage processing plants operate in demanding environments where structural integrity directly impacts product safety, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity. Heavy machinery vibration, foundation settlement from equipment loads, temperature fluctuations, and seismic activity create unique monitoring requirements. Corrosion from cleaning chemicals, thermal cycling in refrigeration areas, and floor loading from processing equipment can compromise structural elements. Our specialized monitoring addresses these challenges with vibration sensors on machinery foundations, strain monitoring for structural frames, and temperature-compensated sensors for cold storage areas. We deploy nationwide across food processing facilities, breweries, dairies, and beverage plants, ensuring compliance with FDA, USDA, and local health regulations. Our systems provide early warning of structural issues that could contaminate products or halt production, with PE-stamped documentation meeting industry standards and insurance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do food safety regulations influence structural monitoring requirements?
Structural issues could contaminate products or create safety hazards. Our nationwide monitoring ensures facilities meet FDA and USDA standards for structural integrity.
What happens during production line equipment installation?
We monitor foundation settlement and vibration during equipment setup. Nationwide deployment ensures new installations don't compromise existing structural integrity.
How do you handle monitoring in refrigerated processing areas?
Our sensors are temperature-rated for cold environments and monitor thermal expansion effects. Systems nationwide operate reliably in food processing conditions.
What role does structural monitoring play in insurance coverage?
Our data supports business interruption claims and demonstrates due diligence. We provide nationwide coverage for food industry insurance requirements.
