Insight into the behaviour of your bridge.
Bridges form a crucial part of our infrastructure. They connect regions, support economic activity, and carry significant traffic loads every day. At the same time, bridges are continuously subject to movement due to temperature fluctuations, traffic loads, settlement, and ageing.
The challenge does not lie in measuring movement, but in distinguishing between normal behavior and deviations that indicate potential risk.
With the Locator Series, Basetime offers a scalable solution for both project-based and permanent bridge monitoring.
✓ Fewer site visits
✓ Lower operational costs
✓ Improved safety
✓ Full lifecycle coverage
Infrastructure is always moving. The question is: do you know when it shouldn’t be?
Every bridge, railway, and quay wall is continuously influenced by temperature, traffic, tides, wind, and time. Expansion, contraction, and displacement are normal. The real challenge is detecting subtle deviations in time that may indicate potential risk.
Traditional inspections and periodic measurements provide only a snapshot in time. As a result, subtle early warning signals often go unnoticed — even though these are precisely the signals that can prevent costly downtime or serious damage.
Our solutions
Two solutions. One integrated approach.
Basetime delivers two purpose-built GNSS systems for temporary measurements and permanent monitoring.
Locator One
Project-based monitoring
Autonomous GNSS monitoring for temporary or short-term measurements. Ideal for construction projects, surveying, and ground movement monitoring.
Locator Two
Continuous long-term monitoring
Permanent GNSS- and tilt-based monitoring for bridges, tunnels, railways, and other critical infrastructure, providing near real-time insight and automated alerts.
From data to predictable insight
Long-term data collection forms the foundation for reliable predictions. By continuously analysing measurements:
-
Trend changes become visible at an early stage
-
Temperature effects can be correlated with structural deformation
-
Insight into normal seasonal behaviour is established
-
Deviations are recognised immediately
All measurement data is automatically processed in Parvamoti, Basetime’s cloud platform. Here, GNSS, radar, and tilt data are transformed into clear visualisations, automated alerts, and API integrations with existing asset management systems.
This shifts bridge management from reactive to predictive maintenance.

Bridge Monitoring Haringvlietbrug, Numansdorp, Netherlands
Project: Renovation of the Haringvlietbrug on the A29
Description: The Haringvlietbrug, built in the 1960s, underwent a major renovation in 2023 to ensure its safety and accessibility for the future. Our technology played a crucial role in monitoring the bridge during the renovation.
Our applications
Designed for sectors where insight into movement is essential.
Basetime provides GNSS monitoring with sub-centimetre accuracy for construction teams, surveyors, and engineers, focused on the following applications:
Railway monitoring
Landslide and slope stability monitoring
Water level and quay wall monitoring
Monitoring of critical infrastructure
