Bridges & Highways
Monitoring
Continuous displacement, strain and inclination monitoring for bridges and highway structures to detect structural degradation before it becomes critical.
Why Bridge
Monitoring Matters
Bridges and highway structures face continuous stress from traffic loads, environmental exposure, and aging materials. Cracks, corrosion, and fatigue develop over time — often invisible until they become critical.
Sentra's wireless IoT sensors provide 24/7 vigilance, measuring strain, displacement, tilt, and vibration. Real-time alerts enable proactive maintenance, extending asset life and preventing catastrophic failures.
Key Monitoring Parameters
- Structural displacement and deflection
- Strain and stress distribution analysis
- Inclination and tilt of bridge piers
- Vibration frequency and amplitude
- Crack width and propagation tracking
- Fatigue cycle counting and RUL assessment

Frequently Asked Questions
A bridge health monitoring system is a network of sensors, typically strain gauges, tiltmeters and accelerometers, that continuously track how a bridge deforms, vibrates and settles under live and environmental loads, giving engineers real, trended data instead of relying only on periodic visual inspection.
A typical deployment combines strain gauges on girders and deck sections, tiltmeters on piers and bearings, and accelerometers for dynamic response, all reporting through LoRaWAN or cellular gateways into a single dashboard.
Sentra's sensors support both periodic reporting, commonly every few minutes to hours for long-term trend tracking, and triggered event detection that reports immediately when movement, strain or vibration crosses a defined threshold.
