30 Years of Expertise in
Keeping America’s Bridges Safe
Proprietary SHM Systems
Structural Monitoring Solutions (SMS) is a U.S. manufacturer of proprietary Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems, engineered exclusively for bridges.
Unlike general consultants who recycle SHM white papers, SMS delivers dedicated solutions:
> RapidGuard™ for emergency
deployments,
> DarkFiber™ for tendon rupture
detection, and
> GeoFence™ for ship-collision
warning.
Each system provides continuous, AI-ready monitoring data, enabling authorities to move beyond periodic inspections and make real-time, actionable decisions that protect public safety.
Inspection
Non-Destructive Testing
​SMS complements our real-time monitoring with ASNT Level III–directed cable and wire-rope inspections. Using
> Guided wave ultrasound (GWUT)
> Magnetic flux leakage (MFL)
> Acoustic Emission (AE),
and socket testing, these services detect hidden corrosion, wire breaks, and stress events inside suspension and stayed bridge cables.
​
Combined with SMS’s continuous, AI-ready data, this layered approach gives DOTs confidence in both existing cable integrity and long-term performance.
Expert SHM
Management
SMS delivers end-to-end Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) project management for major U.S. bridges, combining decades of expertise with AI-ready fiber-optic monitoring data. Our team has led SHM programs on some of the nation’s most iconic structures, including the
> San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, > Woodrow Wilson Bridge in
Washington, D.C.
> Roosevelt Bridges
> HART Rail Bridge in Honolulu
SMS is ensuring reliable, real-time bridge monitoring and actionable insights for DOTs and owners.

​
As a bridge owner, you need clear answers, not raw data. Our fiber optic systems reduce the need for power drops, minimize installation labor, and require significantly less maintenance over time.
​
Built to last, our ruggedized technology ensures long-term performance without the need for frequent system replacements.
​
With over 30 years of experience in equipment manufacturing, SHM project management, and data interpretation, SMS gives infrastructure owners reliable, high-value SHM capabilities at a cost that makes sense.
