Monitoring
Monitoring
Maurer’s Product Monitoring Systems are designed to monitor the performance of Maurer products, detecting functionality issues, identifying wear, and providing early warnings of potential damages.
- Bridge Bearings: Monitoring systems track the sliding path, sliding gap, and deformation or tilting of bearings. For sliding bearings, the height of the sliding gap is monitored to indicate load levels, while the sliding path helps assess the bearing’s exploitation and service life. In elastomeric and pot bearings, buckling, deformation, and changes in stiffness are monitored, giving critical insights into the bearing’s condition and lifespan.
- Expansion Joints: These systems measure structural gaps, lamella spacing, and the vibration behavior of single profile, modular, and finger joints. This helps identify wear and damage at an early stage, ensuring the joints function optimally under varying loads.
- Seismic Isolators: Deformation, tilting, and displacement of seismic isolators are tracked to monitor their load-bearing capabilities, particularly during seismic events. An integrated seismograph allows for detailed measurements of isolator reactions during earthquakes, helping to maintain the safety and integrity of the structure.
- Hydraulic Seismic Dampers and Cable Dampers: The monitoring systems for dampers measure oil pressure and piston displacement, ensuring that the dampers are functioning correctly during dynamic loads.
- Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs): These systems monitor relative movements between the TMD and the structure, as well as structural vibrations, helping to reduce oscillations and enhance stability.
By combining product monitoring with temperature measurements, the system ensures that any temperature-related variations are accounted for, providing a more accurate assessment of the product’s condition.
Kubri Engineered Solutions is your exclusive provider of Maurer’s advanced product monitoring systems in Australia. Ensure that your structures are performing at their best by integrating these cutting-edge solutions into your projects.
Maurer’s Structural Monitoring Systems go beyond individual products, providing detailed insights into the behavior and condition of entire structures. By measuring factors such as dead weight, stiffness, and thermal behavior, these systems help operators understand how structures are responding to environmental and operational stresses.
- Spherical Bearings: Maurer’s monitoring systems in spherical bearings track load measurements, translations, and rotations, providing valuable data on the overall health of the structure. Variations in dead weight, bearing twist, or stiffness can signal changes within the structure, such as constructional modifications, shifts in pillar placement, or changes in force distribution.
This type of monitoring is essential for large-scale infrastructure projects where small changes in structural integrity can have significant long-term impacts.

Maurer’s Impact Monitoring Systems are designed to measure and analyze high-frequency signals and their effects on structures. This monitoring focuses on capturing the forces generated by seismic activity and traffic loads.
- Seismic Impacts: Maurer’s systems detect and evaluate seismic impacts on structures, providing real-time data that can inform maintenance decisions and emergency responses. By continuously monitoring the effects of seismic activity, operators can ensure the ongoing safety and stability of infrastructure.
- Traffic Detection: Using load measurements from bridge bearings or expansion joints, Maurer’s impact monitoring systems can detect and classify traffic loads. These systems provide essential data on traffic volume and axle load, helping to assess the impact of traffic on the structure’s health over time.
Ensure your infrastructure can withstand external forces such as seismic activity and traffic loads with Maurer’s impact monitoring solutions, provided exclusively by Kubri Engineered Solutions in Australia.
