Case Studies
Bridge Retrofit Monitoring (Texas, USA)
STRUCTURAL TESTING TOOLS deployed multi-point strain gauge arrays on a highway overpass undergoing seismic retrofitting. The system captured real-time stress redistribution and helped engineers fine-tune reinforcements, reducing construction delays by 20%.
Aerospace Material Testing (Washington, USA)
A major aerospace manufacturer implemented our strain gauge solutions to validate composite panel behavior under torsional loads. Results revealed micro-strain variations that influenced future material selection.
Pipeline Stress Monitoring (Alberta, Canada)
A Canadian oil company used STRUCTURAL TESTING TOOLS' integrated strain gauge systems to detect stress anomalies in a high-pressure pipeline. Early identification of irregular strain gradients led to preventative maintenance, avoiding a critical failure.
