Bridge Monitoring
With deep industry expertise, DYWIDAG delivers Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) solutions that support every phase of a bridge’s lifecycle, from planning and design to installation, operation, and long-term maintenance. We are committed to providing full lifespan management to ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of your asset throughout its entire service life.
What we monitor in this space.
Force monitoring, vibration method
Improved asset management and safety through remote monitoring.
The force measuring technique is based on the elasto-magnetic properties of ferromagnetic materials, carried out using DYNA Force® sensors. The hollow cylinder monitoring sensors are available in different diameters to suit various bar and strand sizes.
Multiple readings of all sensors can be taken from a central location with a single click, or automatically - removing the need to physically visit site.
- Lifetime monitoring of post-tensioning performance in structures
- Remote reading of multiple sensors, removing the need to visit site
- Force and temperature readings per sensor via the readout unit
- Sensors calibrated on site or at the factory prior to shipping
- Easy connection with mobile devices and remote laptops by WiFi

Why is bridge monitoring important?
The need for SHM is growing as bridges face increasing demands from rising traffic loads, aging structures, and the impacts of climate change. SHM provides real-time data on a bridge’s condition—helping engineers detect issues early, before they pose safety risks or require costly repairs.
By tracking factors like strain, vibration, and temperature, SHM supports safer, longer-lasting bridges. It reduces the need for manual inspections, lowers maintenance costs, and enables faster, data-driven responses to changing structural conditions. In today’s environment, SHM is essential for ensuring the long-term reliability and performance of bridge infrastructure.
Why choose DYWIDAG for SHM?
With extensive industry knowledge, DYWIDAG delivers SHM solutions for every phase of a bridge’s lifecycle, committed to full lifespan management that ensures your asset’s safety and performance throughout its service life.
In-house engineering excellence
Our SHM engineering team of PhD civil engineers, electrical and software experts, and data analysts combine deep expertise to design, implement, and interpret sustainable monitoring systems.
Continuous innovation
We design custom sensors such as load cells and fiber optic systems tailored to each bridge, continuously advancing our SHM technology to adapt to evolving structural demands.
Tailored solutions for every bridge
Our scalable SHM system adapts to any bridge, new or existing, supporting sensors such as accelerometers which are integrated into stay cables to accurately monitor forces and structural behavior.
Advanced data analytics
Our dedicated analytics team transforms raw structural data into clear insights through automated reporting, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance, enabling asset owners to make informed decisions.
Want to know how our bridge monitoring services can support your next project?
Built for sustainability
We know that applying an SHM system throughout a bridge’s lifespan requires well thought out engineering to overcome complex challenges. Structural Health Monitoring systems must deliver reliable performance over decades, yet electronic components often fall short.
To address this, we design durable, sustainable, and fit-for-purpose solutions featuring replaceable sensors, modular electronics, and cabling. Our systems also include remote diagnostics for automated monitoring and instant anomaly alerts, ensuring continuous, proactive asset management.
Built for durability in demanding environments
DYWIDAG’s SHM systems are engineered to withstand the most demanding environmental conditions, ensuring reliable performance in even the harshest settings. This resilience is achieved through the use of properly shielded wiring to protect against interference and damage, elevated conduit routing that prevents exposure to ground-level hazards, and the careful selection of high-durability components designed for longevity.
Every element of our system is rigorously tested and optimized for long-term operation under extreme weather, heavy dynamic loads, and continuous environmental stress, providing robust, maintenance-friendly monitoring solutions that stand the test of time.
Intelligent data insights
We transform complex structural data into clear, actionable insights. Our SHM systems leverage edge computing for real-time processing, advanced scripting for customized data workflows, and automated reporting for seamless communication.
With built-in predictive maintenance capabilities, our analytics help infrastructure owners detect early deviations from design parameters or short-term events to maximize safety, efficiency, and asset lifespan. However, we don’t stop at delivering data. Our dedicated SHM analytics team works closely with you to interpret the results, ensuring you gain meaningful insights that drive confident, data-informed decisions for your structure.
