The National Science Foundation awarded a $256,000 Project Grant to 2KR Systems, LLC through the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support development of a low-cost, wireless structural monitoring network for early warning of movements in infrastructure and geographic features.

Under the award, 2KR Systems will construct sensors to measure commercial rooftop movement from snow and wind loading. The sensors will use precision radio receivers to create 3-axis, centimeter-accurate movement data. An application server will analyze sensor data and display geo-located results. Alerts will be sent via SMS and email when movements indicate issues. The company will develop algorithms for sensors to operate in low-power mode during low activity and high-fidelity mode when motion is detected. The award period is from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023.
