Smart monitoring of Leiden’s bridges with SmartBrick
Smart structural monitoring of civil structures such as buildings, quay walls, and bridges
SmartBrick is an intelligent IoT sensor specifically developed for monitoring civil structures. The system measures tilt and other structural parameters with high accuracy, providing valuable insights into the stability of buildings, quay walls, and bridges.
The sensors are compact, wireless, and easy to install, allowing seamless integration into existing infrastructure without major modifications.
SmartBrick won the SBIR innovation competition of the City of Amsterdam and was nominated for the Co-Build Awards. Today, SmartBrick is successfully implemented in cities such as Amsterdam and Leiden.
SmartBrick is one of the most promising SBIR innovations and helps us monitor bridges and quay walls in a smarter, more efficient, and more effective way.
Initially developed as an innovative solution and award-winning entry in the SBIR innovation competition, SmartBrick is now being put into real-world practice. It has already been installed in both Leiden and Amsterdam, where the sensors continuously monitor the condition of bridges and quay walls. This implementation demonstrates how the technology helps municipalities gain better insight into vulnerable infrastructure and plan targeted maintenance. SmartBrick is evolving from a promising concept into a proven solution for the management of civil structures.
