MORPHOSENSE - Structural monitoring of civil engineering works and other infrastructures

Published on 30 November 2017

Morphosense's continuous real-time 3D deformation and three-axis vibration measurement technologies help monitor infrastructures for predictive maintenance.

Morphosense was founded in 2016 to develop a breakthrough structural monitoring technology based on a network of MEMS accelerometers. A single device can monitor both static (3D deformation) and dynamic (three-axis vibration) behavior continuously and in real time in all weather conditions. Structures can be equipped with sensors—which only need to be calibrated once—quickly and easily.

Morphosense's solution draws on a decade of CEA Tech R&D; the company holds exclusive licenses to two CEA patents and an additional license to other CEA intellectual property. The company is pursuing its collaboration with the CEA under several certified R&D projects.

The solution meets infrastructure operators' risk management and predictive maintenance needs. To date, several experimental monitoring projects have been completed, including the Eiffel Tower, a STX cruise ship launch, a pedestrian bridge in Grenoble, Andra waste-disposal cells with EGIS, mechanical resonance monitoring of a concrete beam for French electric utility EDF, and a railway station access shaft in Greater Paris.
