About YieldPoint Inc.
We are a dynamic, global company in Kingston on the shore of Lake Ontario, in Canada. Our core skills are in the design and manufacturing of monitoring solutions for the measurement of all aspects of rock mass and reinforcement behavior around underground excavations.
YieldPoint provides turnkey solutions and digital instruments for geotechnical and structural monitoring of infrastructure components including underground excavations, tunnels, dams, bridges and buildings.
YieldPoint’s instrumentation strategy is summarized in one word: digital. It starts with a microcomputer embedded in every instrument. Local signal processing provides unparalleled levels of resolution and accuracy, and a unique serial number for every instrument empowers users to effortlessly create plug ‘n play sensor networks that can leverage the internet to autonomously transmit data to engineers, technicians and consultants worldwide.
Our highly innovative product line comprises both digital and optical instrumentation, which we support with world-class geotechnical research expertise. Case-in-Point, in 2019 we have introduced a new Bluetooth 5 geotechnical product line.
