Preserving Cultural Heritage with TotaLite
The new standard for deformation monitoring
Why Cultural Heritage Needs Continuous Monitoring?
Cultural heritage sites, such as historic buildings, monuments, and archaeological sites, are irreplaceable. Over time, they face increasing risks of subsidence, cracking, frame distortion, and foundation issues due to factors like:
🏚️ Aging Structures – Natural wear and tear weakens historic buildings.
🚧Nearby Construction & Vibrations – Excavations and heavy traffic can disturb the foundations.
🌦️Climate Change Effects – Changing weather patterns introduce new risks for deformation.
Timely insights are crucial to mitigate damage, reduce long-term costs, and preserve historical value before it’s too late ⚠️
Key Benefits Using TotaLite
🛡️ Prevents Costly Damage – Continuous insights allow for timely intervention before repairs become expensive.
🎯 Non-Intrusive & Easy to Install – The compact system uses reflective stickers, requiring no drilling or physical modifications to heritage structures.
📊 Automated & Real-Time Monitoring – Track subsidence, cracking, and frame distortions in one system, with alerts for early warning.
🤖 AI-Powered Insights – Detects trends, identifies risk patterns, and provides easy-to-understand 2D sub-millimeter precision data.
📡 Remote & Low-Maintenance – Requires no calibration, minimal power, and can be managed remotely.

Our Success Stories
Monitoring a Historic Artillery Warehouse in Delft
Located in the heart of Delft, the Buccaneer building carries over 600 years of Dutch history. Originally established as a St. Clara monastery in 1415, the building later served as an artillery warehouse from 1570 onwards.
