How IoT Sensors Prevent Bridge Collapse With Structural Health Monitoring
In this episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into structural health monitoring (SHM) — how wireless IoT sensors are catching hidden cracks and corrosion in bridges before they become catastrophes. They explore a real case: the 2023 failure of the Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh, which collapsed just hours after a visual inspection found nothing wrong. Lucas explains how accelerometers, strain gauges, and acoustic emission sensors create a continuous digital nervous system for aging infrastructure, and why the cost of sensor retrofits — roughly $50,000 per bridge —…
