Beneath the Surface: Protecting High-Rises from Unseen Movement and External Pressures
Beneath the Surface: Protecting High-Rises from Unseen Movement and External Pressures
The Brickell Homeowners Association recently hosted Beneath the Surface, a thought-provoking program highlighting how structural health monitoring (SHM) is reshaping how South Florida condominiums approach safety, risk management and long-term resilience.
Throughout the engaging discussion, attendees gained insights into:
How Miami’s unique building conditions—sandy soils, high water table, and aging infrastructure—necessitate proactive solutions.
The role of SHM in detecting unseen settlement, tilt and vibration before they escalate.
Ways associations can leverage SHM to minimize risk, control costs, and safeguard property value.
