Ridderkerk, December 11, 2025 – MME Group proudly announces its collaboration with Villari as a certified partner, introducing an advanced Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) service for steel structures. This partnership enables MME to offer continuous real-time monitoring of crack development and steel fatigue across infrastructure, maritime, offshore, and industrial sectors.
For more than 60 years, MME Group has supported asset owners in safeguarding the integrity, safety, and long-term performance of complex steel structures, ranging from bridges, cranes, offshore platforms, and marine assets. With extensive knowledge and expertise in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) (conventional and advanced), Rope Access, Material Testing, and Corrosion Prevention, MME helps organizations reduce risk, protect people and the environment, and ensure “A Longer Life” for their assets and those involved with them.
Through its partnership with Villari, MME now combines this expertise with certified wireless, scalable sensor system, providing customers with continuous, real-time monitoring of crack growth and fatigue, without interrupting operations, offering a smarter and more sustainable approach to maintain your assets.
As a Villari Certified Partner, MME offers:
This technology is highly relevant for applications in infrastructure, maritime, offshore, and heavy industry, including bridges, cranes, and other critical steel assets.
We support this transition through conventional and advanced Non-Intrusive Inspections (NII). With these techniques, we focus on the critical areas of your installation, without interrupting operations. Even hard-to-reach locations can be safely accessed by using Rope Access.
Where desired, our inspections are enhanced with structural monitoring, using the strategically placed sensors that provide continuous insight into the condition of your assets.
What happens with the retained data?
We can provide insight into remaining life and safety. Together with our specialized partners, MME delivers Fitness For Service (FFS) analyses. These assessments determine whether installations can continue to operate safely and reliably, and which measures are required to minimize risk.
“By adding Villari’s real-time monitoring to our integrity services, we help customers make earlier, safer, and more informed decisions about their steel structures,” says Kees Verdoorn, General Manager at MME Group. “It perfectly strengthens our mission to deliver ‘A Longer Life’ for the critical assets our society depends on.”
Villari also sees strong value in the collaboration:
“MME is widely trusted for its commitment to safety and quality,” says Olivier Baas, CEO at Villari. “Combining their NDT and material expertise with Villari’s continuous monitoring gives asset owners a complete picture—not just where fatigue exists, but how it evolves over time. That enables smarter repairs, fewer disruptions, and safer operations.”
