Imetrum® systems in action - structural behaviour
Imetrum® systems can be used across a wide range of testing of structures. A recent order has been for a top UK University for a 3D version of our Dynamic Monitoring Station (DMS) to test structural behaviour using a shaking table.

DMS has many advantages for structural researchers using shaking table tests including the ability to test different structural techniques and understand how they behave in an earthquake. It can track movement at a high capture rate and its flexibility means the DMS can be used for a wide range of structural testing outside the laboratory environment.  For research laboratories where models need to be tested to the point of failure, an Imetrum® system will produce high quality measurement resolutions and data helping researchers to improve their understanding of structural behaviour.  
 
The University of Bristol have recently published an Impact story about Imetrum and our Dynamic Monitoring Station for structural monitoring.

Monitoring the Royal Albert Bridge

Repair work has been completed on the historic Royal Albert Bridge, linking Devon and Cornwall in the UK. The scaffolding has been removed and with ongoing support from Amey we are continuing with follow up monitoring and measuring the bridge from the ground with continued success. Our Dynamic Monitoring Station (DMS) has been used to measure bridge structure movement relative to the piers. DMS is particularly suited to short term, dynamic investigations of many kinds including crack investigation, static and dynamic load testing and displacement. Using an Imetrum system should lead to considerable savings in setup time and cost, new information, higher quality data and improved health and safety.

Andy Plumb, Senior Asset Monitoring Specialist for Amey said: “Being able to measure bridge behaviour under load conditions is a critical aspect of asset management as it enables us to make much more informed recommendations on things like maintenance and inspection programmes. That’s why we’re using monitoring systems such as DMS on structures like the iconic Royal Albert Bridge.”

Imetrum® in the Press
As well as the Impact story from the University of Bristol, we are also being featured in Inside: technology journal. The article highlights the research behind Imetrum’s start up and what differentiates us from other video-based measuring systems. It also outlines the specific applications our systems are tailored for and how our Video Gauge^TM technology works. Paul Waterfall, Product Manager at Imetrum®, has also contributed to an article with the team at the Advanced Composites Centre for Innovation and Science at the University of Bristol about their test results for self-healing cross-ply laminates. It will be published in issue 104 of JEC’s Composites Magazine later this month.
