What is Crack Gauge Monitoring? 

Businesses need monitoring for cracking, settling, and shifting foundations whether these are for a road, structure, bridge, or retaining wall. With age, buildings and concrete can move, and the ground can sink or settle unevenly.

Crack gauge monitoring takes into account the soil composition, makeup, and weather conditions along with using specific equipment like displacement monitors to track changes in structural integrity.

While a typical business owner may feel wary of a building with a crack in the foundation, a team of engineers, architects, and developers can get to the heart of the problem, track changes in the opening, and propose a permanent solution that meets the budget requirements and workload of the structure. A technical analysis of the problem often leads to a variety of solutions allowing our engineers and construction consultants the ability to customize an answer.

At Kagaoan Engineering, our main focus is to provide reliable, quality services like crack gauge monitoring for our clients. We are proud to offer extensive tracking programs and expert analysis by our industry professionals like our geotechnical engineers. We want you to have peace of mind whether you are entering a new build, completing a remodel, upgrading a business, or keeping track of regular operations. We also assist government entities with civil engineering projects like bridge and road construction.

How Crack Monitoring Services Help Business Owners Be Aware Of Structural Changes

Preventative maintenance checks like regular inspections of a building help property owners find and fix problems in the foundation like stair-step cracks, sagging foundation walls, and ground fissures. Our team of experts understands that there are subtle signs of shifting ground and base structures in the beginning. Often, picking up on these minute differences requires the use of technical monitoring equipment like crack gauges that track openings and give precise measurements of any breaches. With standard monitoring checks, small problems are easy to fix. Routine checkups and regular monitoring can help an enterprise avoid extensive repair bills and construction projects that disrupt regular work activities.
Monitoring Cracks Requires Strict Baseline Numbers

Preventative maintenance programs provide more than a visual or microscopic look at the structure. For buildings with current issues, a regular inspection can give experts a base set of figures to compare against when there are changes in the foundation. Technicians can detect the rate of settlement for new buildings, track vibration effects on equipment and nearby structures, and give property owners peace of mind when problems begin. Highways and bridges remain in use for longer periods when monitoring programs detect changes and keep civil engineers in the loop about settling and crack widening. Routine checks also give municipalities and states the ability to schedule fixes and redirect traffic flow. Technical gauges and crack monitors give engineers the necessary information to create a long-term plan to maintain structural integrity.

Tracking Cracks in Existing Structures Help Identify Ways to Fix the Problem

Whether a natural disaster or regular wear and tear cause a change in the structural integrity of a building, overpass, or dam, crack gauge monitors help professional groups track the changes. Sometimes, a problem requires a fast, practical solution, but often, monitoring gauges are easy to place and follow over long periods giving architects and contractors the chance to come up with the best solution for the project. Using crack gauge monitors allows the firm to see the rate of change and track the difference from the beginning of problems to current results while investigating a permanent solution.

Vibration from Machinery Can Cause Structural Damage

Businesses like factories and industrial complexes create vibrations while in operation. These pulsations can affect the structural integrity of the building, nearby structures, and concrete driveways and parking lots. Digital calipers can give precise measurements of any damage while displacement monitors with data collection units can offer real-time tracking for applications like roadway crack monitoring under heavy traffic. Using regular monitoring equipment like corner gauges and standard concrete gauges helps engineers and developers stay ahead of problems from regular operating conditions in heavy vibration environments.
