Crack monitoring
Tracks crack width and static change in concrete and masonry, alerting when movement passes a set limit.

Continuous monitoring across the structures you build, operate and manufacture. From commercial roofs and concrete to composite laminates in service and on the production line.
For decades the only way to understand a structure was to send someone to look at it. Inspections are periodic, expensive and only ever capture a moment in time, while the problems that prove most costly, a slow leak, a developing crack, corrosion inside concrete, grow quietly in between visits and surface only once damage is done.
Allbase sensors close that gap. Wireless and retrofittable, they sit on the structures you already manage and report continuously into one platform. Whether the signal comes from a commercial roof, a multi-storey car park or a composite wind blade, the same principle holds: see the change as it happens, and act before it becomes a failure.
Monitoring makes previously hidden risks visible, and makes them measurable. By tracking the conditions that lead to failure, building owners, facilities managers and asset teams can move from reacting to problems to preventing them, protecting the structure and everything that depends on it.
Sensors continuously watch the conditions that most often lead to failure: drainage problems, water accumulation, structural movement and corrosion. Abnormal behaviour is caught early, giving advance warning of a developing issue before it worsens into a leak, structural damage or an emergency repair. Teams act at the right moment, rather than after damage has already happened.
With real-time data and automated alerts, maintenance becomes evidence-based rather than schedule-driven. Unnecessary inspections fall away, attention goes to the areas that genuinely need it, and planning becomes more predictable. The result is lower lifetime repair costs, fewer disruptions and far greater budget certainty across a portfolio.
Sensors do more than report current conditions. Historical data uncovers performance trends, recurring issues and emerging risks, supporting informed decisions about maintenance, remedial works and future investment. By addressing problems before long-term deterioration sets in, monitoring helps extend asset life and safeguard the integrity of the whole structure.
Every sensor is wireless, retrofittable and reports into the same platform. Filter by your sector to see the systems built for your application, or search by what you need to measure.
Tracks crack width and static change in concrete and masonry, alerting when movement passes a set limit.
Detects angular change and settlement in structures, temporary works and rail with sub-degree precision.
Measures movement and deflection on large-span and heavily loaded roofs under environmental and plant loads.
Strain within laminates from embedded or surface-mounted sensors, giving early warning of overload and progressive damage.
Measures the real operating loads a composite structure experiences, rather than relying on design assumptions.
Embedded or retrofit sensors detecting reinforcement corrosion and moisture deep inside concrete, wireless and energy-free.
Infrared surface and fabric moisture detection, identifying damp and water tracking within the building envelope.
Calculates accumulated fatigue life from real-world loading cycles, turning usage into a damage index.
Identifies separation between laminate layers before visible damage develops.
Records impact events and determines whether inspection is required.
Listens for fibre fracture and matrix cracking while the structure remains in service.
Measures resin cure in real time, letting manufacturers optimise cure cycles and verify complete cure.
Tracks resin movement during infusion to identify dry spots, race tracking and incomplete fill.
Continuously monitors vacuum pressure throughout infusion and curing.
Monitors mould and laminate temperatures during cure.
Constant oversight of drainage. Detects water build-up, restricted flow and developing blockages before ingress.
Fluid and level monitoring across heating networks, flagging loss, leak or abnormal level in real time.
Monitors environmental conditions affecting prepregs, resins and composite materials during storage.
High-security monitoring for access points and shafts, detecting unauthorised entry and reporting state continuously.
Embedded RFID or NFC tags permanently identify every component, carrying its full history rather than measuring a physical parameter.
Deformation monitoring for railway sleepers and temporary works, to railway-grade precision.
From a single sensor on a known risk to whole-building oversight, every system follows the same path: fit it, let it sense, receive the data anywhere, and act when something changes. No trenching, no rewiring, no waiting for the next inspection.
Sensors mount to new or existing structures with a clever, low-disruption fixing. They can be embedded before concreting or retrofitted on site through a simple core-drilled hole, with no cable connection to the outside world. Many are reusable and can be moved to another structure later, which keeps them economical and sustainable over their life.
Each sensor measures its target continuously, whether that is crack width, tilt, deflection, moisture, corrosion, strain or cure. Depending on the system, power comes from a long-life battery, solar, or an energy-free RFID design that draws power only when read, ruling out cable runs and giving an extremely long service life in demanding environments.
Readings are sent wirelessly over low-power IoT networks to the cloud platform, so data is available anywhere, at any time, without a site visit. Measurements are stored and graphed automatically, giving engineers, facilities teams and asset managers a clear, continuous picture of how a structure is behaving.
Trends are tracked and thresholds watched in the background. When a limit is crossed, the platform raises an automatic alert to the right people by text, email or building alarm, every alert backed by live and historical data so teams can verify the condition, judge its severity and respond proportionately.
Rather than relying on periodic inspections, the platform tracks performance in real time, so a rising water level, restricted drainage or abnormal movement is identified the moment it occurs. Alerts are delivered however suits the site, and always carry the context teams need to evaluate the condition and prioritise the right response.
Critical conditions trigger an immediate SMS to maintenance teams, facilities managers or duty engineers, so the most urgent issues reach someone wherever they are, without waiting for a screen to be checked.
Detailed email notifications carry the full context of an alert, including location, condition type and severity, giving teams the information they need to verify what is happening and decide on the right intervention.
For sites with a building management system or on-site alarm infrastructure, alerts integrate directly into the platforms already in place, so monitoring data sits alongside everything else the building team relies on.
Whether the signal comes from a roof in service or a laminate on the production line, every sensor reports into the same place. Live readings sit alongside historical trends, so teams can verify a condition, see how it is changing over days or months, and judge whether it needs action now or simply watching. Automated alerts handle the urgent cases, while the longer view supports planning, reporting and the decisions that protect an asset over its whole life. It is the difference between a stream of isolated readings and a genuine understanding of how a structure behaves.
