About
Igor Grgac is a geodesist whose work bridges the gap between traditional surveying and modern structural health monitoring. His primary research focuses on the application of contactless, vision-based technologies for the vibration monitoring of civil engineering structures, a field where he has pioneered the use of low-cost Intelligent Automated Total Stations (IATS). His most-cited paper, "Vibration Monitoring of Civil Engineering Structures Using Contactless Vision-Based Low-Cost IATS Prototype" (2021, 15 citations), demonstrates how geodetic methods can be repurposed for real-time structural assessment during a building's operational lifetime—a shift from the classical role of geodesists in construction planning to one of ongoing maintenance and safety. By proving that affordable, non-invasive sensors can capture critical dynamic responses, Grgac’s work offers a practical alternative to expensive monitoring systems, making structural health assessment more accessible. His contributions underscore the evolving importance of geodesy in ensuring the long-term integrity of infrastructure, positioning him as a key figure in the integration of low-cost sensing and civil engineering resilience.
