Ap’Structure: A Unique Solution for Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance of Structures

Implementing a monitoring system makes it possible to track changes in the condition of structures and effectively help prevent any risk of failure.

Using our Ap’Structure solution, we support decision-makers in the day-to-day and long-term management of their assets in order to: 

• ensure the structural integrity of infrastructure and the safety of users,
• to maintain and extend the service life of structures by accurately assessing their current condition and monitoring their aging process,
• to avoid operational shutdowns by identifying existing defects and preventing failures,
• control expenses by anticipating and prioritizing necessary maintenance and/or renovation work,
• to facilitate decision-making by providing regular, customized analyses of instrumented structures.
  
  

Ap'Structure is applicable to all types of civil engineering structures and buildings across a wide range of industries.

Project owners face numerous requirements regarding the management of their structures: structural strength and stability, safety in use, availability to users, and control of operating budgets. These requirements make regular monitoring and maintenance essential throughout the structures’ entire service life.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) makes it possible to assess the integrity, health, and long-term performance of all types of structures. Its goal is to maintain and extend the service life of structures, as well as to detect and predict failures. This technology, which stems from a multidisciplinary approach, draws on a combination of expertise in materials, nondestructive testing, sensors, maintenance, as well as data analysis and modeling.
