Case Studies

1. U.S. Structural Engineering Firm – Chicago, IL

A major infrastructure consultancy used our potentiometric sensors to monitor vertical displacement in bridge bearings during rehabilitation. The data helped validate design loads and adjust post-tensioning strategy, resulting in safer execution and better long-term performance.

2. U.S. Manufacturing Plant – Pittsburgh, PA

Potentiometric sensors from Displacement Deformation were implemented on hydraulic presses to track piston displacement. This analog feedback was vital in automating the quality control cycle, reducing part defects by 22%.

3. Canadian Dam Monitoring System – British Columbia

A hydroelectric facility integrated our potentiometric sensors into its dam gate control and measurement system. The sensors offered low-maintenance, reliable performance under challenging moisture and temperature conditions, providing consistent data for structural safety audits.
