The need for infrastructure resiliency is crucial in the Philippines due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire. USHER is a building structure health-monitoring system with an accelerograph sensor and a web portal system. The patent-pending technology can be installed in all types of buildings, allowing building managers to monitor a building’s structural integrity and ensure economical, hassle-free compliance with government regulations. USHER has tailored the much cheaper system to the local market, while offering a complete solution.
