Our Seismic Monitoring solutions.

Buildings

Measure how your building responded to the shaking and get a clear occupy-or-inspect answer in minutes. In New Zealand, Sentinel makes the call.

Dams and Hydro

Know what the dam experienced against its design basis, so your Emergency Action Plan starts on measured data, not a guess.

Learn more →

Infrastructure

Measure what each bridge, port or airport experienced, so you reopen, restart or prioritise inspections on evidence, not a drive-around.

Learn more →

Energy and Industrial

Measure what generation, geothermal and process assets took, so you keep running, restrict or shut down on data, not precaution.

Learn more →

Research and Networks

Standards-compliant strong-motion data with open formats and precise timing, priced so you can put more measurement points on the ground.

Learn more →

Heritage

Measure how a sensitive or unreinforced structure responds, without invasive fixings, so conservation and safety decisions rest on real data.

Earthquake Response

Peace of mind with Sentinel™

Every Sentinel™ plan tells you, within minutes of a shake, exactly what your building experienced and what to do about it. No waiting on a callback, no flying in the dark. Just a clear white, amber, or red result, sent straight to your phone, so you can act with confidence and stand behind the decision later.
