The 35th Dresden Bridge Building Symposium (DBBS) takes place on March 18–19, 2026, bringing together leading researchers, civil engineers, and infrastructure experts to discuss the latest developments in bridge design, construction, and long-term monitoring.
For more than three decades, DBBS has been one of Europe’s most respected forums in bridge engineering—where new methods, materials, and monitoring concepts shape the future of critical infrastructure.
Gantner Instruments will once again participate in DBBS 2026, presenting advanced Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) solutions for safer, smarter, and longer-lasting bridges. Visit us at booth 21.
Smart Monitoring for Modern Bridge Engineering
Bridges demand reliable measurement systems that deliver precise data over long periods and under harsh environmental conditions. Gantner Instruments provides scalable SHM solutions that transform raw sensor data into actionable insights for safety assessment and lifecycle management.
Key capabilities include:
- Q.series X measurement modules for strain, acceleration, temperature, and vibration
- Distributed and wireless systems for large and complex structures
- Edge computing and GI.cloud for real-time analysis, visualization, and alarming
Experience SHM Live at Booth 21
Discover how modern SHM works in practice through live demonstrations and interactive exhibits at our booth.
What you will see:
- A live SHM system capturing and analyzing sensor data in real time
- Dashboards and alarm scenarios showing structural response under load
- Sensor-equipped models demonstrating strain and vibration behavior
Our SHM experts and engineers will be available throughout the event to discuss monitoring concepts, system architecture, and integration strategies.
What’s New at DBBS 2026
At DBBS 2026, we will present recent advancements in long-term monitoring and predictive maintenance, including:
- New SHM modules designed for continuous operation
- Intelligent algorithms supporting fatigue assessment
- SHM approaches for sustainable lifecycle management of bridges
