    Asset Monitoring Solutions for Dams, Bridges, Rail, Road and More

    Improved maintenance planning, asset life extension and failure detection are all possible with effective asset monitoring. 

    At SOCOTEC we've developed our approach to Asset Monitoring to help support Engineers make Operationally critical decisions and feed into their Asset Management strategy.  


    In close consultation with the client, we follow a step-by-step process to ensure that monitoring systems are entirely fit for purpose and answer the specific set of questions the Engineer asks about the performance of an asset or asset influencing parameters. 

    Why choose SOCOTEC UK for Asset Monitoring Solutions? 

    For over 20 years SOCOTEC has been delivering bespoke monitoring systems for a variety of asset types including dams, bridges, landslides, drainage, rail and road infrastructure and flood detection. Working with a diverse range of supply chain partners we are able to optimize the sensing technology for each application. 

    Delivering the right data to the right people at the right time.

    Asset Monitoring

    Dams and Reservoirs

    SOCOTEC Monitoring has been involved for a long period of time in monitoring of dams and reservoir infrastructure and can provide support and servicing for existing, legacy monitoring systems such as hydraulic piezometers or design and install entirely new monitoring systems measuring structural and geotechnical parameters.  Recent contracts range from simple, remote reservoir level monitoring with remote cameras for data validation through to full monitoring system replacement, including tilt sensors, seismographs, joint meters, piezometers and flow monitoring.  All data is available 24/7 via our web-based Calyx monitoring software.

    Asset Monitoring

    Landslide / ground movement monitoring and flood detection

    With a higher frequency of extreme rainfall events, it has led to a significant increase in demand for monitoring systems for flood detection and water inundation.  Working with clients from a range of different sectors we have installed flood monitoring system in rivers, streams and culverts and non-drainage features including roads and pedestrian subways. With systems ranging from simple binary water detection sensors to contactless level sensing combined with remote, automated cameras, allowing engineers to remotely observe conditions on site using live camera images accessed through Datatys.

    Asset Monitoring Solutions FAQs

    Asset Monitoring is a system used to measure the asset usage and performance to predict the maintenance lifecycle. Asset Monitoring is equipped by connecting machines and installing internet-enabled sensors or IoT connectors that facilitate data collection and transfer of machine data to a cloud platform for detailed analysis to monitor and schedule maintenance. 

    Asset Monitoring ensures small defects that would usually go undetected are observed and instead of inspectors manually inputting data, our remote monitoring capabilities allow for more accurate analysis of your asset’s condition.

    SOCOTEC can assist clients with visualising their asset monitoring data with online data visualisation, the type of data recorded and the way it is delivered is highly flexible. Supporting vital decision-making and instant and reliable access to data improves the overall effectiveness of any construction or asset monitoring project.
