SenseQuake-logo 3D-White font 2.png

Sensequake is the world leader in structural health monitoring and assessment technologies

combining sensors, A.I. and advanced data analysis to provide accurate structural evaluations. They develop software and hardware to provide a turnkey solution for bridges, buildings, ports, dams and infrastructure worldwide.

Their patented technology performs integrity evaluations due to aging or natural hazards solely based on data collected from highly-sensitive vibration sensors without structural drawings - saving time, effort and money - all while providing superior results. Smart databases are created to determine structural changes in integrity over time.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Ambient noise study proved to be a very efficient tool for the seismic response evaluation of the Centre Block, a primary heritage building of the Canadian Parliamentary Precinct in Ottawa. It highlighted, at an early stage, several aspects of the building response to seismic loads, aspects which will require special consideration during the design phase. At the same time, the ambient noise study was used for the calibration of the seismic analysis computer model developed by the structural consultants. Sensequake provided timely professional services for the test planning, data collecting and post-processing, working diligently on a very complex structural framing and many site constraints."

"Sensquake direct sensing-based seismic evaluation of structural and non-structural components rather than finite element models helped us to identify the most vulnerable locations in the building and calibrate our finite element models to design the most reliable retrofit scheme. In one of our major projects, the technology detected structural characteristics and floor in-plane flexibility that was not visible through traditional methodologies.

This technology will allow our customers to establish a smart database of their existing portfolio of structures allowing them to accurately monitor any changes in the future and cost-efficiently optimize retrofit plans across their portfolio. We look forward to working with Sensequake again."

"The technology advantage presented by Sensequake is revolutionary. Their approach dramatically improves the viability of conducting asset portfolio seismic assessments, both from an initial and ongoing assessment point of view. Their ability to assess a facility regardless of its age and the state of its documentation in a non-destructive and non-intrusive manner is critically important. Their ability to integrate their results with a structural finite element model ensures that this model is realistic and that this model has been cost-optimized for the required performance."
