The continuous controls aimed at verifying the behaviour of a structure is defined as “monitoring”, or “structural health monitoring” (SHM). Monitoring constitutes one of the most important activities for controlling and evaluating the safety state or conservation of structures and monuments. Through monitoring it is possible to obtain indications on the current state of a construction and on possible evolutions of its behaviour. Monitoring, applied to infrastructures, buildings or artefacts, provides essential information for the correct interpretation of their structural functioning, especially for structures of particular complexity or with ongoing degradation phenomena.

Expin Expin bases its skills on the design and development of several structural monitoring systems, in extremely delicate or critical contexts in Italy and abroad, with the use of cutting-edge technological instrumentation and with a view to optimizing the achievable results. Expin srl is member of the UNI (Italian standards body) working group 08 “structural monitoring” for the revision of UNI/TR 11634:2016 guidelines for structural monitoring
