The worldwide problem
Global Infrastructure at Risk of Corrosion
Chloride-induced corrosion poses a massive threat to aging bridges worldwide, driving up maintenance costs and endangering public safety. From Ireland’s coastal bridges to structurally deficient spans across the U.S. and Europe, proactive monitoring and timely repairs are essential to safeguard vital infrastructure.
Ireland’s Coasts
330 of 1,500 coastal bridges in Ireland are vulnerable to chloride-induced corrosion, raising safety and maintenance concerns.
US Challenges
46,000 of 617,000 bridges in the US are classified as structurally deficient, costing $8.3B annually in repairs.
Europe’s Crisis
Over 1 million bridges across Europe face urgent deterioration, with potential replacement costs estimated at €400B.
Aging Asia
In Japan, 170,000 of 730,000 bridges are over 50 years old, while South Korea contends with corrosion on 30,000 aging spans.
The SM:ART Solution
SM:ART aims to completely eliminate reactive deterioration costs, by shifting practices towards proactive monitoring, detecting early deterioration before damage is visible. This reduces costs, downtime, and enhances safety.
Advanced Sensors
State-of-the-art sensors retrofitted in structures continuously monitor key parameters like chloride levels, moisture, and temperature—detecting early signs of deterioration.
AI Predictive Insights
Our machine learning platform processes sensor data in real time to predict maintenance needs and spot trends, empowering proactive, data-driven decision-making.
Autonomous Repairs
Integrated automated repair systems trigger targeted interventions, ensuring proactive maintenance that minimizes downtime and extends the lifespan of critical infrastructure.
