Gargotect
An atmospheric monitoring system for urban bridges and critical infrastructure. Solar-powered sensor nodes that clamp onto existing suspension cables and structural cables, detecting micro-fractures, corrosion, and tension changes through 'mist' - proprietary fog sensing technology that identifies chemical signatures of metal fatigue before visible damage occurs.
The Wow Moment
A city engineer looks at their phone and sees a 47-year-old bridge cable glowing amber - the gargoyle sensor detected micro-fractures 3 weeks before they'd be visible to the human eye, preventing a catastrophic failure and saving millions in emergency repairs.
