EverSense® – Integrated Structural Health Monitoring
The strength of the EverSense® solution lies in its ability to integrate and process any type of automated measurement, transforming complex data into meaningful indicators and intuitive dashboards tailored to the needs of all stakeholders.
Deployed worldwide, EverSense® is used to inspect and monitor critical infrastructure including bridges, offshore platforms, wind turbines, and nuclear facilities. Backed by extensive field experience, our systems deliver reliable, long-term monitoring across the most demanding environments.
Expertise That Delivers the Right Solution
Our multidisciplinary teams combine expertise in Civil Engineering, Metrology, Electronics, and Computer Sciences. This broad skill set enables us to fully understand client challenges and recommend monitoring solutions precisely adapted to each structure and risk profile.
- EverSense® supports a wide range of monitoring applications, including:
- Corrosion detection in reinforced and prestressed concrete structures
- Crack monitoring
- Fatigue risk monitoring
- Early-stage scouring detection
- Monitoring of gantry structures at risk of collapse
Modular Software and Multi-Sensor Integration
EverSense® is a modular platform, ranging from real-time data acquisition and alert management to advanced data analysis and visualisation via a secure web interface. Sixense provides a comprehensive portfolio of structural, hydraulic, environmental, and geotechnical sensors to monitor:
- Cable-stayed and prestressed structures
- Structures at risk of corrosion
- Structures at risk of scouring
- Structures subject to fatigue and ageing
To deliver a complete and effective monitoring service, we integrate multiple complementary technologies, including electrical and electromagnetic sensors, fibre optics, vibrating wire strain gauges, acoustic and ultrasonic systems, radar and laser measurement solutions, fully equipped surveying systems, and InSAR satellite monitoring.
Reliable Systems for Every Environment
For rapid and cost-effective deployment, Sixense offers battery and solar-powered wireless scanners using radio frequency and GSM communications. For large-scale and critical assets, heavy-duty systems are available, capable of acquiring data from hundreds of sensors while achieving long-term operational availability exceeding 99%.
End-to-End Monitoring Services
Sixense delivers a complete monitoring service, including:
Deployment: supply, installation, and commissioning of hardware and software, with skills-transfer-based technical support
Support: multi-year maintenance contracts and expert data interpretation
Training: system operation, maintenance, data processing, and long-term asset management
By combining civil engineering expertise, advanced multi-sensor integration, robust data acquisition systems, and high-precision analytical software, Sixense delivers Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) solutions that provide exceptional long-term value.
Advanced Monitoring Capabilities
Acoustic monitoring is currently the only technology capable of detecting cable strand failures caused by corrosion or fatigue. Any loss of section resulting from a strand failure can be detected and accurately located.
Fibre optic sensors are recommended for harsh environments and for detecting hidden defects, such as micro-cracks caused by local prestressing losses. Fatigue monitoring of metal components enables continuous trend analysis of the residual safety coefficient and accurate estimation of remaining service life, allowing maintenance to be planned proactively and efficiently.
Scouring Risk Management
Approximately 60% of structural failures worldwide are caused by floods and scouring. Early detection is therefore critical to preventing sudden and unexpected collapse. Co-developed with IFSTTAR, Sixense’s scour monitoring method is the only solution that provides permanent, continuous monitoring with early-stage detection capabilities.
