Digital Safety Monitoring for Steel Towers

Digital Safety Monitoring for Steel Towers

Unlike traditional solutions that rely solely on GNSS and inclinometers to monitor only the tower body itself, this solution enables comprehensive remote centralized monitoring of tower displacement, tower tilt, foundation safety, and foundation load variations. By conducting in-depth analysis of all inspection data, it effectively provides early warnings and alarms for potential safety hazards of the tower. For field operations, third-generation BeiDou (BDS-3) communication equipment is available as an optional configuration.

Tower body

The system consists of a wireless data gateway (AZ289), an AZ136A smart pole for combined static strain and tilt measurement, and surface strain gauges, providing real-time monitoring of tower displacement and tower tilt.

The soil (or wall) mass surrounding the tower

The system consists of a wireless data gateway (AZ289) and an AZ133A smart pole for deep horizontal displacement measurement, providing real-time monitoring of tower foundation safety and foundation load variations.
