Cracks in steel structures: The Industry's "Dirty Laundry"

Updated: Nov 12

Cracks in industrial assets are often treated like dirty laundry—something we’d rather not talk about. But why do we hesitate to openly discuss the challenges we face with asset integrity?


The truth is, admitting to potential issues can feel like acknowledging failure. Yet, avoiding the conversation only increases risks. The reality is that aging assets and developing cracks are not signs of neglect—they are natural consequences of heavy use over sustained periods of time.

By addressing these challenges head-on, companies can shift from reactive to proactive maintenance. At Villari we empower businesses to take control of asset health through continuous monitoring, catching issues before they escalate. It’s time to stop seeing cracks as a dirty secret and start viewing them as opportunities for smarter management.


Let's break the silence and make structural health a priority.
