Structural Health Monitoring
Structural monitoring of critical infrastructure
Technical rooms, shafts, and other, often remote structures are essential for the operation of modern supply and communication networks. They ensure the functioning of telecommunications, water, gas, and electricity infrastructure and are also potential weak points: if unauthorized persons tamper with them, it often goes unnoticed.
Automated monitoring with immediate alerts ensures that such intrusions are detected early on, before they cause outages, damage, or security risks. With LANCIER Monitoring's compact, low-maintenance systems, access points can be reliably secured: discreetly, energy-efficiently, and flexibly retrofitted.
Why use LANCIER Monitoring for structural monitoring?
Your advantages:
- Reliable detection when opening access points to shafts, valves, or technical rooms
- Tamper protection thanks to fiber optic or electrical sensor technology
- Easy retrofitting without costly construction work
- Compact, robust design for discreet installation
- Can be directly integrated into existing alarm systems (e.g., via relay contact)
- Ideal for critical infrastructures and security-relevant networks
Typical areas of application
Building monitoring systems are used wherever unauthorized access must be detected and documented at an early stage, especially in security-critical or difficult-to-access environments.
Typical applications:
- Manhole covers, access shafts, and access openings in utility networks
- Technical rooms, operational buildings, and transformer stations
- Sleeve locations, transfer points, and empty cable conduits
- Checkpoints in energy, water, wastewater, and gas infrastructure
- Outdoor areas of public transport facilities and other critical infrastructure-related peripheries
Monitoring can be planned directly into new buildings or integrated into existing facilities as a retrofit solution, without any structural modifications.
Technical solutions overview
LANCIER Monitoring's monitoring systems consist of modular components that can be flexibly combined. The focus is on the reliable detection of mechanical tampering, whether in new installations or retrofits.
sensor technology
- Robust sensors that reliably and directly detect when access points are opened
- Optionally fiber optic-based (without power supply at the sensor location) or with electrical switching contacts
evaluation units
- Processing of sensor signals and direct alarm forwarding
- Can be integrated into existing systems via potential-free contacts
visualization and control
- The UMS2 platform provides a central overview of the system status.
- Customization of notifications and reports
- Easy connection to higher-level management and control systems
Quality from our own development
At LANCIER Monitoring, our building monitoring solutions are developed, manufactured, and tested in-house from the ground up, from sensors and electronics to alarm forwarding.
The result: durable technology that works: reliable, robust, and tailored precisely to your requirements.
