Design and construction of infrastructure projects require many decisions be made with incomplete and uncertain information. This produces the opportunity for a constructed facility to not perform as intended. Additionally a perfectly performing structure may degrade over time. Performance monitoring involves the use of instrumentation to measure the actual performance of a facility to reveal unexpected performance in time for corrective action to be taken that prevents catastrophic damage or extends the facility’s useful life.

Geocomp Corporation is a worldwide leader in real-time performance monitoring of constructed facilities using the Internet. Geocomp has developed the technology to display on a computer screen in real-time the readings from a sensor located anywhere on the earth. Geocomp Corporation has provided risk and performance monitoring on major infrastructure projects, including the Central Artery/Tunnel project in Boston, the Woodrow Wilson Bridge in Washington DC, the South Ferry Terminal Station in New York City and the Kentucky Lock and Dam.
