Health monitoring of steel structures
Continuous insight into steel structure conditions prevents unexpected damage and downtime. Villari steel monitoring makes risks visible at an early stage, before damage appears, helping organizations manage risks, plan maintenance and extend asset life.
Reliable performance with Villari steel monitoring
Steel monitoring combines traditional methods with Villari, a smart, autonomous system that monitors structures 24/7 via integrated sensors. Villari collects and analyzes real-time data on stress changes and plastic material behavior in steel, translating it into actionable insights for maintenance and safety. Deviations are detected early, maintenance becomes predictable, and asset life extends significantly. Control Union unites inspection expertise, sensor technology, and data-driven analysis for maximum structural certainty and operational continuity.

Applications
-
Suitable for critical steel structures in bulk, industrial, and offshore environments, with focus on cranes and handling systems like EOT cranes, STS cranes, bulk handling, ladle cranes, stacker-reclaimers, and offshore heavy-lift cranes.
-
Applicable to other fatigue-sensitive structures, including bridges and wind turbines.
-
For any critical steel structure prone to fatigue or cracking, we develop tailored solutions.
