About SoundPrint
SoundPrint® is a patented innovative monitoring technology that can detect and locate failures in high-strength steel wire, strand or cable. Whether these materials are used in prestressed concrete cylinder pipes, reinforcement in post-tensioned structures, or as primary supporting elements in cable-stayed or suspension bridges, they can corrode and fail without any external evidence, leading to potential structural deficiency.
"Continuous...non-destructive...cost-effective..."
SoundPrint® uses an array of sensors to measure the response of a structure caused by the energy released when tensioned wires fail or other events of interest occur. Sensors are connected to a data acquisition system located in or near the structure. Filtering techniques are used to reject acoustic events caused by ambient activity such as traffic or loose joints. Data from events that pass a primary filtering process are automatically transmitted to a data-processing center by means of the Internet. Sophisticated proprietary software is used by analysts to determine the time, location, and classification of each event.
Depending on specific client needs:
- Data can be accessed directly by clients using the secure client access website.
- Reports can be generated summarizing activity in a structure over a specified period.
Information on Demand
Through the client access portion of the web site, clients can now access data from their structures directly. Using the intuitive interface, managers can custom-design their own reports, generated in real time. Acoustic events can be examined and replayed in real audio format, and presentation-quality reports for multiple sites can be viewed and printed. Comprehensive security ensures that only authorized individuals can access specific sites.
