Structural insight for assets that are difficult to monitor.
EchoNet™ is BeamGrid™’s RF-enabled structural health monitoring platform, developed to help infrastructure teams identify meaningful change at selected locations on critical assets. An Innovate UK Growth Catalyst-funded proof-of-concept programme has been completed. BeamGrid™ is now seeking a partner for a controlled, real-asset pilot.
The concept was modelled, prototyped and evaluated under controlled conditions.
Establish repeatability, operational robustness and value against agreed reference measurements.
The operational case
Better evidence between inspections, without avoidable complexity.
Infrastructure teams need timely, decision-useful information from critical locations, particularly where access, wiring or repeated manual inspection is difficult. EchoNet™ is being developed as a targeted monitoring layer within existing structural-assurance workflows.
Targeted awareness
Focus the pilot on locations, load cases and engineering decisions selected with the asset owner.
Practical deployment
Design a bounded trial around real site-access, safety, installation and maintenance constraints.
Evidence, not theatre
Assess performance against reference measurements and success criteria agreed before deployment.
Technology maturity
What is established and what still needs to be proven.
BeamGrid™ distinguishes completed work from field-validation objectives so partners can assess technical and deployment risk clearly.
Proof of concept
- Innovate UK-backed programme completed
- Design, modelling and prototype development completed
- A controlled sensing response demonstrated
- Initial pilot and evidence requirements defined
Partnered pilot definition
- Select the asset and monitoring decision
- Agree the reference method and baseline
- Define installation, access and data requirements
- Set technical and operational success criteria
Operational field evidence
- Repeatability under representative conditions
- Comparison with established reference measurements
- Robustness across expected operational and environmental variation
- Fit with existing inspection and engineering workflows
Priority pilot environments
Start with a defined asset and a decision that matters.
Targeted structural evidence
Evaluate an agreed location or load case against an existing measurement or inspection method.
Difficult-to-access locations
Run a bounded evaluation where access or continuous conventional instrumentation is operationally challenging.
Condition-led monitoring
Gather evidence around a defined operating condition, load case or maintenance decision.
