The Institute of Applied Physics offers consumers systems for automatic monitoring of building structures, including the development of circuit solutions, manufacturing and installation of automatic monitoring systems, monitoring the condition of building structures under a manufacturing agreement and/or an outsourcing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

Automatic monitoring systems ensure the safe operation of industrial facilities carrying structures of unique and high-rise buildings and structures is an important aspect of technogenic safety of the Republic of Belarus.

Automatic monitoring systems are designed to monitor the technical condition of potentially hazardous industrial facilities, load-bearing structures of unique and high-rise buildings and structures. The system includes developed precision sensors for strains, inclination angles, accelerations, methods and devices for their laboratory calibration, installation and adjustment on structures, subsequent verification, systems for digital data transmission from sensors to a computing server, software for processing large sensory data measured by sensors, and system for approximate assessment of construction safety designs. Monitoring services contain an assessment of the condition of the structure based on the analysis of data from the monitoring system, based on the results of which the customer receives information about the presence of dangerous deformations and recommendations on the need to conduct geodetic and other studies. The development of the construction industry of the Republic of Belarus and the constant tightening of requirements for the safety of the functioning of structures create the potential for the use of automatic monitoring systems for structures.

In Russia, such systems are standardized as the SMIK (Engineering Structure Monitoring System) and are mandatory for unique and highly hazardous facilities. SODIS Lab is a market leader, developing a platform for continuous monitoring of high-rise buildings (e.g., the Lakhta Center) and complex structures.

Chinese systems are actively being implemented at mega-infrastructure sites (record-breaking bridges, high-speed railway lines). Large state-owned corporations, such as China State Construction (CSCEС), use their own developments and partner solutions to monitor their facilities.

The experience of using monitoring systems developed at the Institute of Applied Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus at landmark facilities of the Republic of Belarus has shown their effectiveness in solving problems of ensuring the safe operation of structures.

The use of an automatic monitoring system makes it possible to timely detect unacceptable changes in the state of structural elements, carry out inspections and repairs, and prevent the occurrence of emergency situations.

The monitoring system uses precision certified sensors of our own and other manufacturers, which have high accuracy and stability, as well as developed certified equipment and technology for determining the initial state of steel structures, which allows monitoring the behavior of the structure throughout its entire life cycle. An integrated approach to technical condition monitoring includes the development of circuit solutions and software, manufacturing and installation of sensors, adjustment and commissioning, warranty and post-warranty maintenance of the system.
