inndox available in the USA
inndox is very pleased to announce that STRAAM Group have agreed to use inndox. STRAAM provide Structural Commissioning for multi-story buildings. The process involves positioning accelerometer sensors at strategic points of the structure to measure micro-movements. These measurements are used with computer modeling to determine the stability of a building and to identify any weaknesses within the structure. The weak spots can make the buildings not comply with engineering and constuction standards and can also make the building unsafe when the building is exposed to adverse loads such as those experienced during high wind, floods, or vibration caused by works in close proximity.
Structural commissioning is used by building owners, property developers, contractors, engineers, architects, insurers and regulators to check for both compliance and suitability of a structure.
It’s ideal that the Structural Commissioning occurs both during construction and upon completion to check for compliance with engineering standards and to set a baseline for comparison with future readings.
Some information from STRAAM
STRAAM TM is an acronym for Structural Risk Assessment and Management. Our name explains STRAAM Groups Mission. They have built one of the most advanced platforms available for providing technology to easily measure and analyze the performance of structures. This platform, combined with traditional and advanced inspection and analytical techniques, offers the most detailed structural analysis available. STRAAM serves the engineering, construction, real estate, insurance, energy and building commissioning sectors.
STRAAM Group is truly unique. They inspect and use technology to rapidly quantify the performance of buildings, bridges, dams, marine structures, energy facilities and other large monolithic structures. They process the structures measured response into information used to identify the behavior associated with weaknesses, anomalies and damage. This is used to quantify the risk profile of the structure. STRAAM then provides periodic assessments or continuous monitoring to track changes to the structure over time. Their advanced services provide those who are responsible for structures to have the most detailed condition assessment available and understand the risks associated with its operation or modification into the future.
