Step 1 of 2

Office towers and multi-building campuses represent significant investments that require comprehensive structural monitoring to protect both assets and occupants. These structures face challenges from wind loads, foundation settlement, and dynamic occupancy patterns that create varying structural demands throughout the day and seasons.

Property owners and facility managers nationwide must balance operational efficiency with structural safety, particularly in seismic zones or areas with high wind exposure. Our monitoring services provide the data needed to make informed decisions about maintenance, renovations, and emergency preparedness.

Nationwide deployment addresses regional variations, from hurricane-prone Gulf Coast campuses to earthquake-vulnerable California towers. We work with structural engineers to establish monitoring programs that capture the full range of environmental and operational loads these buildings experience.

Popular Services in This Sector

1

Vibration Monitoring Services

Office buildings experience vibration from internal sources and external events. Vibration monitoring distinguishes between normal operations and potentially damaging events.

2

Inclinometer and Tilt Monitoring

High-rise structures can develop tilt issues from differential settlement or wind loads. Inclinometers provide early detection of movement affecting building performance.

3

Displacement Monitoring

Foundation settlement and structural movement can affect building alignment. Displacement sensors track changes that impact facade systems and interior finishes.

4

Strain Monitoring

Structural connections and critical elements experience stress from wind and occupancy loads. Strain monitoring identifies areas of high stress requiring attention.

5

Seismic Aftershock Monitoring

Office buildings in seismic zones need post-event monitoring. Seismic sensors ensure structural integrity following earthquakes and guide reoccupancy decisions.

6

Long Term Monitoring and Alerts

Office buildings require monitoring through their lifecycle. Long-term programs track performance trends and identify maintenance needs before they become critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What structural concerns affect office towers nationwide?

Office buildings face wind loads, seismic activity, and foundation settlement across different regions. We provide monitoring that addresses regional risks from California earthquakes to East Coast hurricanes nationwide.

How does occupancy affect structural monitoring needs?

Office buildings experience dynamic loading from varying occupancy levels. Our monitoring captures structural response to changing loads and identifies areas needing reinforcement nationwide.

What facade and exterior monitoring is needed?

Curtain wall systems and exterior elements can develop movement issues. We monitor tilt and displacement to ensure facade integrity and prevent water infiltration nationwide.

How does seismic monitoring protect office buildings?

Buildings in seismic zones need post-earthquake assessment capabilities. Our monitoring provides immediate data for safety evaluations and reoccupancy decisions nationwide.
