Civil Engineering Applications | Senix Distance and Level Sensors

ToughSonic® ultrasonic sensors provide reliable continuous liquid level measurements, obstacle detection, and vehicle positioning assistance in road construction worksites. Their durable build provides superior resistance against dust, water, and harsh construction conditions.

ToughSonics also provide structural monitoring in bridge construction applications, ensuring structural integrity of viaducts, overpasses, and beams both during and after assembly. ToughSonic-200 models are best utilized to measure and meter asphalt or concrete while being dispensed, or in tanks containing corrosive slurries or pavement coatings for road resurfacing.

Tailor and clone each ultrasonic sensor via SensorView™ software to meet the precise needs of every civil engineering project.

Senix sensors provide proximity detection and construction vehicle maneuvering assistance on road & bridge worksites

Transform Construction Timelines with Smart Sensor Systems

The efficiency of municipal construction projects is critical—but so is the quality and long-term sustainability of repairs.

Level and distance sensors deliver precision, safety, and productivity to urban development, transportation, and utility worksites.

Senix offers ToughSonic® ultrasonic transmitters, CNCR compact non-contact radars, and mini capacitance probe sensors to automate inventory management and object detection in tough construction applications.

Discover how continuous measurements, real-time inventory level alerts, and simple data integration keeps timelines on track and eliminates interruptions due to insufficient inventory or on-site workplace accidents.

ToughSonic ultrasonic transmitters and durable radar sensors provide accurate non-contact distance and level measurements in harsh applications.

Slurry Level Measurement

Measure liquid coatings or asphalt slurry of any consistency, temperature, or color; Senix sensors are resistant to vapor and foam.

Municipal Vehicle Maneuvering

Alert or pause worksite equipment if obstacles or workers are in its path. Detect pavement surface irregularities.

Precise Inventory at Batch Plants

In cement and asphalt manufacturing, sensors help producers achieve precise ingredient batching for optimal product quality.

Efficient Off-Road Repairs

Sensors can be used for level and obstacle detection in road & bridge construction or sidewalk, curb, and driveway repairs.

Environmental monitoring

Monitor environmental conditions on flood-prone worksites, including flood monitoring and snow level detection.

ToughSonic sensors' real-time measurements are employed on construction worksites, at asphalt manufacturers, and in cement batch plants

Accurate Distance & Level Measurement for Worksites

ToughSonic® ultrasonic sensors provide reliable, non-contact distance and level measurement for civil engineering applications, including road, bridge, and construction site monitoring.

Built for rugged outdoor conditions, they deliver consistent data to support safer construction, structural monitoring, and infrastructure maintenance.

Monitor inventory within tanks such as asphalt, pavement coatings, sealants, or gravel
Support road and construction site operations with distance measurement for equipment positioning and automation
Measure water levels near infrastructure such as culverts, stormwater systems, and drainage channels
Enhance jobsite safety and efficiency with real-time data for proactive maintenance and hazard prevention

The perks of level sensors aren't restricted to industrial worksites or manufacturing lines. Senix sensors offer continuous performance in open-air and environmental applications.

Measurement data can be sent to the user's IoT system of choice—such as BinCloud® remote monitoring software—to view and replenish inventory from anywhere, at any time.

Enhance worksite safety icon: ultrasonics can sound an alarm or illuminate a light when proximity thresholds are crossed

Install ultrasonic sensors on construction vehicles or on structures to detect proximity of people, alert machinery operators, and even sound a warning alarm when workers enter dangerous areas.

Ensure inventory availability icon: measure liquid levels in vessels of all shapes and sizes, including portable storage tanks

Both ultrasonic and CNCR radar sensors install easily in compact storage or process vessels, including portable water tanks, plastic industrial bulk containers (IBCs), bulk storage units, and sealcoating spray tanks.

Detect surface irregularities icon: ToughSonic sensors can be mounted to detect uneven pavement or construction site surfaces

ToughSonic transmitters detect very small or subtle changes in level or distance. Real-time data helps workers detect and mitigate uneven paving to prevent future drainage or surface weakness issues.

Non-contact radar sensors provide continuous level measurements; mini capacitance probe sensors enable high, mid, or low point-level alerts

Radar & Capacitance Sensors for Smarter Infrastructure

CNCR-100, CNCR-200, and CNCR-300 radar sensors deliver real-time liquid level measurements in asphalt tanks, cement slurry vessels, and pavement coating storage.

Mini capacitance probes provide reliable high- and low-level detection in liquid tanks used for batching, mixing, and road construction materials.

CNCR radar level sensors provide accurate data in harsh environments such as batch plants and paving operations
Radar maintains accuracy in heat, vapors, dust, agitation, and changing material conditions—common on job sites
CNCR-300 radars enable wireless monitoring for mobile equipment, remote storage tanks, and construction sites
MCP probes help prevent overfills, material shortages, and construction interruptions with timely high/low level alerts
