Take care of your buildings with Tector

Smith & Wallwork, faced water damage risks during the construction of the Northgate House in the center of Oxford. Traditional moisture monitoring methods proved inadequate.

In response, Tector's wireless sensors were strategically placed, providing real-time data on moisture, temperature, and humidity. This proactive approach enabled the building owner to detect another leak that they initially thought had been fixed, which could have led to structural risks and another round of costly repairs if it had gone undetected.

The REWINNUSE project, in collaboration with M-Sora, the Slovenian Forestry Institute, and the Norwegian Institute for Bioeconomic Research (NIBIO), aimed to address the challenges faced by Slovenian joinery manufacturers in sourcing raw material, particularly spruce wood. With spruce becoming increasingly scarce and expensive, alternative wood species and innovative window design were explored.

The project tested the use of alternative wood species and demountable joints for wooden windows, aiming for environmentally friendly solutions while reducing dependence on market fluctuations.
