Wireless Dam Monitoring

Remote condition monitoring for safer, more efficient dam maintenance

Dams are critical infrastructure, often located in remote locations where traditional monitoring is difficult and expensive.

Senceive’s wireless platforms deliver reliable condition data to help dam owners and operators manage risk, reduce maintenance costs and satisfy regulatory requirements.

Senceive wireless systems help dam operators:

  • Monitor cracking, erosion and other long-term defects.
  • Understand the impact of interventions such as repairs or drawdowns
  • Detect sudden events like slope failure or seismic activity

Our technology is used across a wide range of dam types, including concrete, embankment and tailings dams.

Deploy sensors on above-ground structures or in boreholes to measure displacement, tilt, deformation, settlement crack and joint movement, strain and pore-water pressure.

Dam monitoring

Integrated Dams Monitoring with Remote Monitoring Solutions

Senceive wireless platforms form part of the Remote Monitoring Solutions product line under Eddyfi Technologies. We offer complementary technologies that, when combined, give dam owners a complete picture of structural and geotechnical behaviour.

SISGEO - advanced geotechnical instrumentation such as piezometers, extensometers and inclinometers provide insight into subsurface conditions, groundwater behaviour and internal dam deformation. When paired with Senceive wireless nodes, these instruments can deliver automated, real-time data from deep within the structure or foundation to engineers, without the need for manual readings.

Huggenberger - precision structural monitoring instruments including pendulums and crack meters offer high-accuracy measurement of dam body movement, joint behaviour and long-term stability trends. When integrated with Senceive wireless technology, these readings can be continuously captured, transmitted and visualised, giving engineers a clear view of both subtle and sudden changes.

Together, these technologies deliver a unified, multi-parameter monitoring solution - combining Senceive's remote wireless capabilities with trusted, proven instrumentation from Sisgeo and Huggenberger for comprehensive dam safety assurance.

InfraGuard: automated alerts with visual context

Senceive’s award-winning InfraGuard™ system detects subtle movement that may indicate early signs of failure.

It delivers graded alerts and can trigger integrated cameras to capture photographic evidence, helping engineers verify and act quickly.
