BAM Unveils Revolutionary Bridge Monitoring System at Hannover Messe
BAM, the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, is showcasing a groundbreaking bridge monitoring system at the Hannover Messe. The system, presented in Hall 5, Stand C10, uses ultrasound technology to detect minute structural changes, ensuring bridges' long-term safety and future-proofing them.
BAM's innovative system employs the 'Coda' of ultrasound waves to identify even the smallest cracks or structural issues in bridges. This continuous real-time monitoring enables early detection of damage, preventing costly emergency repairs and closures. Visitors to the Hannover Messe can interact with a bridge model at Hall 2, Stand A18, to test this cutting-edge technology firsthand. The system, developed in collaboration with ConScope, offers a cost-efficient, high-precision measurement solution for predictive maintenance.
BAM's bridge monitoring system, presented at the Hannover Messe, promises to revolutionise bridge maintenance. By enabling early detection of structural weaknesses, it helps ensure the safety of bridge users and reduces maintenance costs. The system's innovative use of ultrasound technology sets a new standard for bridge monitoring.
