Bridge pier safety

Scour Monitoring System

A sonar-based monitoring solution for bridge piers with real-time data and alerts. Scour — the erosion of riverbed material around piers and foundations — is a leading cause of bridge failure. Our system detects it early, before it becomes dangerous.

Instruments of scour monitoring

Sonar sensor for scour monitoring

Sonar Sensor

Installed under water at the pier, the sonar sensor continuously measures the riverbed level — detecting erosion around foundations as it happens.

Intelligent Field Device

The Intelligent Field Device utilises MQTT for efficient communication and real-time data integration with the cloud. It seamlessly fetches data from sensors, providing accurate monitoring and control — ideal for IoT-based field applications and smart environments.

Key features

Real-time data, wherever you are

Real-time scour data and SMS alerts on mobile

Real-time data & SMS alerts

Data loggers transmit sensor data to the cloud, enabling real-time monitoring on any mobile device — with instant SMS alerts the moment scour approaches a dangerous level.

Web-based dashboard for scour visualization

Web-based dashboard

Monitor real-time field data, view history, and configure alerts and thresholds from a user-friendly web-based dashboard.

How it works

How our system works

These are the stages of remote monitoring and controlling through which we fulfil the needs of Industry 4.0.

01

Data Acquisition

Sensors, actuators, transducers and data acquisition modules are installed on target equipment — acquiring every analog and digital parameter from structures, factories, weather stations and farms.

02

Edge Computing & Gateway

Edge hardware on premises collects and processes data in near real time, then forwards processed and raw data to the cloud through a network gateway.

03

Cloud Server

Data from edge devices is stored on the cloud server, ensuring 24×7 real-time monitoring — with failure reporting via SMS, email and app notifications.

04

Web Dashboard

View data in graphical and tabular form, generate rule-based reports, and set alerts and triggers — from anywhere, on any mobile, tablet or PC.
