In today’s infrastructure and engineering landscape, the requirement for robust and regulation-compliant vibration monitoring has never been greater. From large scale demolition sites to health care facilities to sensitive heritage buildings and more, the risks posed to structural integrity from vibrations require smarter tools and faster insights. This is where the MENHIR excels, a high performance, versatile vibration monitoring solution from SEMEX-EngCon.
Whether you’re managing pile driving operations on a major infrastructure project or monitoring structural health near a hospital or heritage site, MENHIR delivers the reliability, flexibility, and compliance civil engineers and consultants require.
Applications
The MENHIR has intuitive user interface to ensure quick deployment, remote access and configuration, making it a popular choice for a diverse range of applications.
Civil Engineering & Construction
Designed to operate in harsh environments, the MENHIR is ideal for:
- Demolition and Excavation
- Blasting and Pile Driving
- Mining Operations
It helps prevent damage to nearby structures and ensure compliance with standards like DIN 4150-2 and DIN 4150-3, which focuses on the effects of vibrations on structures and people within buildings.
Structural Dynamics
Infrastructure like dams, tunnels, bridges, high-rise buildings, and architectural heritage sites require careful analysis of vibration impacts over time. The MENHIR supports:
- Structural integrity assessments
- Early warning for damaging events
- Predicted life expectancy of structure
Traffic & Railway
The MENHIR can be deployed to monitor the effects of road traffic and railways induced vibrations on the surrounding infrastructure, giving engineers the insights they need in order to take preventative actions.
Human Comfort
Urban projects often border sensitive zones such as:
- Healthcare facilities
- Laboratories
- Offices and residential zones
MENHIR allows for detailed tracking of vibration levels that may affect human comfort or sensitive equipment, ensuring safe, compliant operation. Continuous vibration monitoring with the alarm function and remote data interrogation offers reliable protection against operational failures.
Seismic Monitoring
For regions prone to geological instability, MENHIR also supports:
- Seismic monitoring
- Volcanic unrest tracking
- Early warning systems
Its robust wireless connectivity and integration with the SEDIRX cloud platform enables reliable remote access to data. Alerts can be set in case of defined threshold or DIN 4150-3 exceedance.
