  • Monitoring + Measurement Overview

    For an existing structure, the best way to quantify, qualify and validate performance is to study the structure itself.

    RWDI has a full suite of monitoring and measurement capabilities for short term, long term and permanent installations. 

    Through discussion with one of RWDI’s experts, the best method of assessment can be selected.

  • Benefits

    Early detection: Establishing a baseline of parameters and performing periodic inspections/monitoring allows for early detection of abnormal variations.

    Confirm assumptions: Parameter verification can confirm that the design assumptions were correct, thus creating a baseline of parameters.

    Follow-up verification: Confirms that parameters have not substantially changed.

    Workable and effective solutions: Should abnormal findings arise through a monitoring program, RWDI can make recommendations and assist the team to find workable and effective solutions.
