Cracks in façades, floor subsidence, differential settlements… These discreet signals can hide serious structural pathologies. Whether it concerns public buildings, residential blocks, or historical monuments, structural monitoring has become an essential lever for any maintenance, rehabilitation, or safety strategy.
From classical methods to known limits
Until recently, surveillance relied on:
- periodic visual inspections,
- engineers' reports spaced out over time.
But these traditional approaches show their limitations: lack of precision, point-in-time data, limited responsiveness. As a result, interventions are sometimes too late or poorly scaled.
Connected sensors: the revolution of continuous monitoring
The emergence of connected sensors, such as those developed by FEELBAT, is revolutionising practices. They provide continuous monitoring, remotely, without disrupting the use of the building or constantly mobilising technical teams.
These sensors allow for:
- the automatic measurement of the evolution of a crack to the nearest tenth of a millimetre,
- the precise monitoring of settlements and deformations,
- the cross-referencing of data with environmental conditions (rain, temperature...)
- the sending of alerts in case of abnormal variations.
All this data is centralised on a secure platform, accessible 24/7. It is a true decision-making tool, much more than just a simple technical observation.
Early detection = controlled interventions
A late intervention in the event of structural disorder can be costly. With continuous monitoring, it becomes possible to:
- anticipate the development of a crack or settlement,
- schedule targeted work at the right time,
- justify enhanced monitoring through objective data,
- reduce costs by avoiding unanticipated emergencies.
➡️ Data is becoming a strategic asset for design offices, architects, and local authorities wishing to intelligently manage their built heritage.
Why integrate FEELBAT into your projects?
Our sensors are:
- self-sufficient and quick to install,
- designed for long-lasting outdoor wear,
- connected to an intuitive mobile application,
- adapted to various contexts: historical monuments, old buildings, dense urban construction sites…
Thanks to this technology, field teams are less burdened, and decisions are supported by reliable and continuous data.
