AVT has significant experience in the monitoring of structures which have known cracks or may be subject to further movement or settlement.

Appropriate structural monitoring can provide valuable information relating to the medium to long term trends of structure defects, which could just be seasonable or be experiencing further deterioration. These data enable the long term risk assessments to be made regarding structural integrity.

AVT can offer a wide range of structural monitoring solutions from conventional instrumentation systems to the latest wireless sensors, most of which can be remotely monitored.

AVT is currently developing new non-contact techniques involving acoustic emission sensor technology to help pin point areas where possible defects are forming and high resolution digital image processing of known defects to check for continued movement.
