SmartSheetPile

Smart steel solutions for innovative infrastructures

«We are transforming the life of steel – how it’s made and how it’s used. Because while a developing world needs more steel, a sustainable world needs new steels – smarter and decarbonised.»

SmartSheetPile is an innovative solution designed to make infrastructure safer and more cost-effective. The sheet pile wall is monitored in real time by multiple sensors, measuring a variety of parameters. The data is collected and transmitted via 4G/Wi-Fi to a cloud-based database, which can be displayed on online monitoring dashboards or fed into the asset’s digital twin. 

The SmartSheetPile is constantly connected and communicating through the cloud with other smart objects/ structures. It provides information on the structural health of the sheet pile wall (corrosion, deformation, tilt, etc.) and can alert in case of accidental events (anchor failure, wall impact, earthquake, etc.). It continuously collects and transmits high quality and precise data that can be analysed and used for informed decision-making, thus reducing maintenance costs, optimising the use of structures and preventing catastrophic and accidental failures.

Key benefits

SmartSheetPile provides real-time monitoring with advanced sensors, digital twin technology, and AI-powered analytics, enabling timely alerts and data-driven decision-making for infrastructure safety and efficiency. It supports sustainability by optimizing design, reducing material use and emissions, and offers a holistic, innovative approach to asset management.

Process flow

The process begins with selecting relevant monitoring parameters for the project, followed by detailed planning of sensor types, quantities, and positions. After installation and deployment, the system enables long-term online monitoring and alert triggering, tailored to each project's unique requirements.

Installation and deployment

Sensors, housings, and cabling are pre-installed and protected before delivery to the job site, with robust testing (including vibratory and impact hammer tests) ensuring durability and system integrity. Upon arrival, a pre-installation verification is conducted to confirm sensor functionality, minimizing on-site labor and ensuring readiness for immediate deployment.

Long-term online monitoring

Once deployed, the system provides continuous, online monitoring of all parameters, with advanced data filtering and analysis tools to detect trends and anomalies. Customizable alerts notify stakeholders in real time of any abnormal conditions, enabling proactive risk management and operational efficiency.

Power supply, maintenance and lifespan

Sensors are powered either by grid electricity or solar panels with batteries, with maintenance needs depending on the power source (solar systems require periodic battery replacement). The sensors are designed for long-term reliability, with most having a Mean Time to Failure exceeding several decades, minimizing replacement needs and ensuring sustained monitoring performance.
