Buildings & High-Rise
Monitoring
Settlement monitoring, tilt tracking and seismic response systems for residential, commercial, and heritage structures — ensuring safety and compliance throughout the building lifecycle.
Why Building
Monitoring Matters
High-rise buildings and complex structures face unique challenges from wind loading, thermal movement, foundation settlement, and seismic activity. Without continuous monitoring, subtle deformations can escalate into costly structural issues.
Sentra's IoT sensors provide real-time visibility into building behaviour — tracking tilt, vibration, and displacement patterns. This data supports structural health assessments, compliance reporting, and proactive maintenance planning.
Key Monitoring Parameters
- Foundation settlement and differential movement
- Building tilt and inclination monitoring
- Wind-induced vibration and sway analysis
- Seismic response and post-event assessment
- Thermal expansion and contraction tracking
- Crack monitoring in structural elements

Frequently Asked Questions
Accelerometers mounted at multiple floor levels capture how a building actually moves during an earthquake or strong wind event, giving facility teams and structural engineers real dynamic response data to assess damage risk rather than waiting for a visual inspection after the fact.
Tilt monitoring uses precision inclinometers to track gradual foundation settlement or lean over time, revealing slow-developing structural issues, such as differential settlement, long before they become visible to the eye.
Yes. Tiltmeters and strain gauges are sensitive to movement well below the threshold where cracking or visible distress occurs, which is what makes continuous monitoring valuable as an early-warning layer on top of routine inspection.
