Preserve heritage. Extend lifespan.

Preserving history through data

Protected structures carry more than just bricks and mortar. They hold cultural value, architectural significance, and often, irreplaceable heritage. But age, weather, and urban pressure make them vulnerable. With AIM, you can protect these buildings with data—not guesswork. Our platform helps you monitor structural behavior in real time, detect early signs of deterioration, and support long-term conservation without invasive methods or disruptions.

Why structural monitoring matters for heritage

Many historic structures were built long before modern materials or design standards existed. While they’ve stood the test of time, they are often sensitive to vibration, weather shifts, and even subtle foundation changes. Adding to the challenge, traditional maintenance methods can be risky, limited by access restrictions, or even prohibited by conservation rules.

AIM brings modern monitoring to these sensitive assets. Without damaging the structure or disturbing its environment, our platform captures detailed sensor data, visualizes performance, and highlights trends. This allows conservation teams to act with precision, planning interventions only when and where needed.

Monitor ageing concrete, wood, stone, and steel

Protected structures vary in design and material. From concrete fortresses and stone bridges to timber churches and steel-framed landmarks, each carries its own risks and patterns of degradation. AIM supports all of them, adapting to the materials and sensors in use—without needing custom software or historical models.

Use cases in heritage protection

• Historic churches: Monitor roof movement, wall tilt, and vibration during nearby construction or events
• Old bridges: Track temperature-related expansion, corrosion risk, and stress distribution across spans
• Landmark towers and monuments: Capture wind load effects, material fatigue, and ground settlement over time
• Preserved military or industrial sites: Support adaptive reuse projects by ensuring structural safety during conversion

No disruption to daily life

One of AIM’s key strengths is its non-invasive nature. The system runs quietly in the background, feeding real-time data into the platform. There’s no need to close sites, disrupt visitors, or disturb the integrity of the structure. Alerts and dashboards are accessible from anywhere, giving you full oversight without needing to be on-site.

Benefits for conservation teams and asset owners

• Preventive care: Address minor issues before they lead to visible damage
• Support funding requests: Use real data to justify restoration projects or maintenance budgets
• Track intervention outcomes: See how repairs or retrofits are performing over time
• Comply with protection rules: Avoid invasive inspections or unnecessary interventions
• Collaborate with engineers: Share structured insights that help guide safe and accurate decisions

Visual dashboards and alerts

Data doesn’t need to be complicated. AIM gives you a clear view of your structure’s health with easy-to-read charts, live alerts, and historical trends. Whether you're checking for stress on an archway or tracking seasonal shifts in a foundation, the platform shows you what matters, when it matters.

Long-term insights, short setup time

AIM delivers high-value insights quickly. There’s no need to build simulation models or dig into years of historical records. Once your SHM system is connected, the platform begins learning from the structure’s actual behavior. Within days, you start receiving real signals about how your protected site is performing.

Real-world example: 19th-century courthouse

In a city center, a historic courthouse faced gradual foundation sinking. Rather than rely on visual cracks alone, the engineering team connected sensors to track settlement and tilt. AIM provided daily insights into the rate and pattern of movement, helping prioritize reinforcement in just one section of the foundation—saving time, cost, and preserving the original materials wherever possible.

Built for today, built for tomorrow

Heritage preservation is a long game. Decisions made today affect decades to come. AIM supports this mission with predictive analytics, helping teams forecast degradation trends and plan repairs years in advance. With full visibility into how materials and environments are interacting, stakeholders can avoid surprise deterioration or urgent interventions.

Extend structural life, with less risk

Many protected buildings have exceeded their original design life. AIM helps extend that lifespan by tracking subtle changes before they become serious. With less guesswork and more clarity, you reduce risk and increase confidence in the continued use of historic buildings.

Ideal for public and private owners

Whether you’re a government agency, a church authority, a museum foundation, or a private owner, AIM is designed to fit your operational model. The platform offers flexible dashboards for different teams and integrates into your existing asset management workflows. No special expertise is needed—just your SHM data and internet access.

AIM makes heritage smarter

Protecting the past takes modern tools. AIM helps you understand structural health in a way that respects the building’s history while meeting today’s standards. With AI-powered insights, non-disruptive deployment, and real-time reporting, you can care for protected structures with more confidence and less stress.
