Smart Structures, Inc. develops and sells advanced systems that test and monitor the health of the nation's physical infrastructure such as highways, bridges, tunnels, overpasses and large-scale buildings and complexes. Our solutions are based on a patented miniature wireless sensor that is cast directly into wet concrete as it is poured into piles, pillars, shafts, beams, columns, foundations and other structural elements.  These wireless embedded sensors provide critical data on strength and integrity throughout a structure's entire lifecycle - from fabrication of its individual concrete components to construction to testing to ongoing use & operation.

Smart Structures was founded to bring the embedded wireless sensor technology developed by the University of Florida to market.  Deployed on over 30 construction  projects including the Trout River Bridge in Florida, the LA-1 highway in Louisiana and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge in Washington DC, our SmartPile® product family enables commercial construction companies to develop safer structures faster and more cost effectively by totally redefining the approach, cost and precision of construction quality control.   Once construction has finished, the embedded sensors deployed during construction now provide state agencies and federal agencies with continuous information on the operational heath of their infrastructure – for example, the stresses induced on a bridge by traffic and wind, as well as extraordinary events such as an earthquake, hurricane, train derailment and ship impact.  This information is routed – based on the type and severity of events – to the appropriate agencies to provide the requisite services such as rerouting of traffic, dispatch of public safety, fire or rescue, dispatch for rapid reinforcement or repair of the structure.
