Smart Crack Detection Sensors for Infrastructure Safety
Monitor and analyze structural cracks in real time with smart sensor technologies built for scalable B2B applications.
Advanced Crack Detection Solutions for Safer Infrastructure
Smart crack detection sensors offer a highly effective, real-time method for identifying and tracking structural cracks in concrete, steel, masonry, and composite materials. These advanced sensors are designed to measure crack width, length, propagation speed, and location, enabling engineers to assess damage severity, predict failure risks, and make informed maintenance decisions. Integrated with IoT capabilities, these systems provide live data transmission and cloud-based analytics, removing the guesswork from structural health monitoring.
This webpage introduces STRUCTURAL TESTING TOOLS’ range of smart crack detection solutions, specifically tailored for B2B infrastructure operators across North America.
STRUCTURAL TESTING TOOLS provides advanced crack detection systems with wireless communication, edge computing, and seamless compatibility, serving applications from bridge deck surveillance to dam face monitoring.

Case Studies
Bridge Crack Monitoring in Illinois
To monitor longitudinal cracking along the concrete beams of a highway bridge, a state transportation agency deployed our smart crack sensors. The system provided hourly readings, which helped engineers identify progressive crack growth due to thermal expansion. This allowed pre-emptive reinforcement work before the next inspection cycle.
Historic Building Monitoring in California
A heritage conservation team used STRUCTURAL TESTING TOOLS' smart sensors to track surface cracking in a 1920s-era courthouse. The real-time data allowed for remote monitoring of fragile plaster and masonry surfaces, eliminating the need for disruptive visual inspections and improving preservation planning.
Dam Wall Surveillance in British Columbia
A public utility installed crack detection sensors on a concrete gravity dam. The sensors transmitted real-time data to a central monitoring center, enabling early detection of structural distress during seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. This insight improved safety management and regulatory compliance.
