Straintest is a software company revolutionizing structural health monitoring for civil engineers. They provide a photo-based system that allows for precise, simple, and cost-effective 3D structural displacement monitoring using any camera, including phones and drones. Their technology enables the capture of movements in joints, cracks, and other critical points on infrastructure like buildings, bridges, and tunnels, offering sub-millimeter precision. Straintest's platform shifts complexity from hardware to software, eliminating the need for specialized sensors, maintenance, or calibration. This allows for large-scale deployment at minimal costs, empowering infrastructure managers to screen their entire portfolio for structural issues over decades, thereby optimizing maintenance planning and ensuring safety.
