Port and marine structure monitoring services address the unique challenges of waterfront infrastructure including docks, piers, bulkheads, and offshore platforms. These structures face constant exposure to wave action, tidal forces, and corrosion from saltwater environments. We provide specialized monitoring solutions that account for marine conditions and regulatory requirements.
Our nationwide deployment includes corrosion sensors, strain gauges, and displacement monitoring systems designed for marine environments. We use cathodic protection monitoring, wave height sensors, and underwater inspection systems to track structural health. Our systems are built to withstand saltwater corrosion and provide reliable data in challenging marine conditions.
This service helps port authorities, shipping companies, and marine facility operators maintain safe operations and comply with Coast Guard and maritime regulations. We work with structures ranging from small boat docks to major container terminals and offshore oil platforms. Our monitoring helps prevent costly downtime and ensures structural reliability.
We provide underwater sensor installation, corrosion monitoring, and wave impact assessment. Our technicians are experienced with marine construction standards and diving operations. We deliver data that helps operators make informed decisions about maintenance scheduling and structural repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What marine-specific sensors do you deploy nationwide?
We deploy corrosion sensors, underwater strain gauges, wave height monitors, and cathodic protection systems nationwide. All sensors are rated for marine environments and include corrosion-resistant housings.
How do you monitor underwater structures?
Our underwater monitoring nationwide uses submersible sensors with acoustic or satellite data transmission. We can deploy sensors at depths up to 100 meters and provide real-time data from submerged structural elements.
What about wave and current forces on marine structures?
We monitor wave heights, current velocities, and structural responses nationwide using specialized sensors. This helps assess fatigue loading and potential damage from storm events or vessel impacts.
Can you work during port operations?
Yes, our installation teams nationwide are experienced with working around active port operations. We coordinate with port authorities and can perform installations during scheduled maintenance windows.
How do you handle saltwater corrosion issues?
Our systems nationwide include corrosion monitoring sensors and cathodic protection measurement. We track corrosion rates and can alert operators when protective systems need maintenance.
