MISTRAS Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) uses Acoustic Emission sensors to provide 24/7, 365 continuous monitoring of bridges, so defects and faults can be serviced as soon as an imbalance or irregularity is detected. With Acoustic Emission (AE) technology, MISTRAS can determine if, where, and when damage is occurring, along with its severity and intensity, helping you respond as effectively as possible. Paired with our advanced data management capabilities, we can collect, analyze, manage, and present findings for future monitoring and historical trending. MISTRAS technicians can supply, install, and operate SHM systems on your bridge, so you can ensure both safety and structural integrity at all times.
