IoT sensor platform for structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure
Smart Structures deploys sensor networks to monitor the structural integrity of bridges, foundations, and water infrastructure. The tech stack—TypeScript, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL—reflects a modern web-first approach to real-time data visualization and asset management. Active hiring remains concentrated in engineering (10 roles across mid, senior, and junior levels), while the project list reveals a shift toward water systems monitoring and web-based data platforms alongside emerging AI exploration. Two immediate pain points surface: data integrity and efficient data flow from field sensors to central systems, which map directly to their current roadmap.
Smart Structures builds sensor and software solutions for civil infrastructure monitoring. Founded in 2004 and acquired by RADISE International in 2015, the company applies IoT technology to assess the structural health, capacity, and safety of bridges, foundations, water systems, and other critical assets. The core offering includes SmartPile™, a sensor system proven on over 100 bridge projects, combined with cloud-based platforms that aggregate monitoring data for designers, contractors, owners, and operators. The customer base spans public agencies, design-build teams, and infrastructure operators seeking to extend asset life and reduce maintenance costs through predictive insight. With 11–50 employees and a narrowly focused engineering organization, Smart Structures operates as a specialized hardware-software provider serving the infrastructure and geotechnical sectors.
TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and TypeORM for the web platform. AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Trimble tools for design integration and field data capture.
Water infrastructure monitoring (wastewater, supply, distribution, storage), web app development, data management architecture, and early-stage AI exploration for asset analytics.
