ACCURATE SEISMIC DATA MONITORING

SEISMIC PROTECTION

GSD’s strategically-located sensors constantly monitor a building’s movement and behaviour. These sensors measure any changes in its orientation, safety and capacity to keep people safe.

During an event

Seismic event occurs

Alerts: During an earthquake

Green—Client and engineers are notified and building retains normal occupancy – thresholds not met.

Green – Normal occupancy

Orange—Inspection recommended, thresholds met. Engineers do desktop or onsite assessment, either change status to green or other restricted access.

Orange – Inspection recommended

Red—Engineers assess data and building and can change status lower if cleared; or restrict – allowing action of business continuity plans.

Red – Entry prohibited

GSD SHMS trademarked Sensor data

Among the measured elements are ground speed acceleration, twist, subsidence, movement and changes in the structure itself. These and other elements make up an ever-changing building frequency. The data from the sensor is wirelessly transmitted to the cloud and is available in real-time.

Stakeholders benefit from Structural Health Monitoring real-time data, not only by improving their role in ensuring people and buildings are safe, they also ensure life and business continue following a seismic event.

Your resilience checklist

Whether you are working within a local or central government organisation, are a building owner, emergency response team or a tenant, being proactive in managing risk, resilience and recovery in the days following a disaster is paramount to safety and economic recovery.

Using our Five Phase System Solution which provides ongoing access and assessment of seismic data on buildings and infrastructure, communities can better prepare for, and manage seismic events across the resilience index, of risk, readiness, response and recovery.
