Tector expands market reach with a new generation of sensors - Addressing a €364 billion global construction problem with a scalable, resilient solution
Copenhagen, Denmark – 2 September 2025 – Tector, a leading provider of moisture detection technology, is expanding its global footprint with a new generation of wireless sensors, now certified for the US, Canada, Japan, and Australia. This marks a significant step in solidifying Tector’s position as the go-to solution for proactive moisture management in the global construction industry. Designed to tackle one of the most pressing challenges in construction, moisture damage, Tector’s solution provides real-time data, AI-powered alerts, and comprehensive reporting, helping industry leaders reduce risk, ensure quality, and improve project efficiency.
Tackling a Global Construction Crisis
Moisture damage isn’t just about protecting assets; it’s about ensuring the longevity and sustainability of buildings.
Water ingress is responsible for 33% of all construction defects worldwide, leading to unnecessary material waste, inflated costs, and an increased carbon footprint. The industry loses an estimated €364 billion every year to preventable damage and repairs. By tackling these issues proactively, Tector’s AI-powered solution can cut repair costs by up to 95%—ensuring healthier, longer-lasting structures.
“Escalating costs, tighter budgets, and stricter sustainability requirements demand a proactive approach to moisture management,” said Lasse Regin Nielsen, CTO & Co-Founder of Tector. “Moisture-related defects account for 74% of building damages. With our system of wireless sensors and AI-driven alerts, we’re empowering construction professionals to stay ahead of risks, enhance durability, and contribute to global sustainability goals.”
Trusted by industry giants: Tector safeguards projects from London to the Moon
It was just last year that Tector began its UK expansion, and it’s already working with some of the most influential names in construction. Kier, Mace, Landsec, Willmott Dixon, and Smith & Wallwork are among the major players now relying on Tector’s early moisture detection system to protect high-value projects. From flagship developments like Timber Square and Copenhagen’s Mary Elisabeth Hospital to global landmarks like the restoration of Notre Dame, Tector is setting a new standard for durability.
In Cologne, even the European Space Agency is putting Tector to work. SAGA’s FLEXHab lunar training module uses it to monitor the health of structures built for life beyond Earth.
“Regardless of the materials used, data-driven construction is the future,” says Sebastian Aristotelis, Co-Founder and Lead Architect at SAGA. “Tector’s system allows us to track our structures’ health over time, enabling smarter renovations and better decision-making, not just in space, but across the construction industry as a whole.”
Introducing Tector’s next-generation sensors: The future of moisture monitoring
Tector’s next-generation sensors are designed to operate in extreme environments, providing up to 25 years of real-time moisture monitoring and leak localisation. This innovation is a direct response to industry demand for efficient, long-term solutions that enhance quality assurance, compliance, and sustainability.
What’s new?
- Up to 25 years of effortless moisture monitoring – a long-term solution for complex projects.
- Engineered for harsh conditions – designed to perform in extreme environments.
- Faster, simpler installation – seamless integration with existing workflows.
- Customisable data collection – extension probes for expanded monitoring where needed.
- Certified for the US, Canada, Australia, and Japan – scalable for global projects.
With a larger battery and optimised power usage for extended lifespan, Tector’s sensors provide construction professionals with powerful, real-time insights to detect and address moisture risks before they escalate. We’ve also split the line into two purpose-built sensors:
- Woody Gen 2 – designed specifically for timber structures
- Flatty Gen 2 (Patent Pending) – tailored for flat roofs
Driving longevity and resilience globally
Tector’s system goes beyond cost savings and helps projects meet sustainability standards such as DGNB, LEED, and BREEAM by reducing waste and extending building life. With regulations tightening, including EU rules that will require lifecycle assessments for large buildings by 2028 and for all new builds by 2030, verifiable long-term data is now essential. Tector provides continuous insight to support LCAs, prove performance, cut emissions, and keep teams ahead of change.
“Moisture speaks the same language everywhere. We are ready to meet the global demand for solutions that prove risk mitigation and sustainability can work together,” concludes CTO & Co-Founder of Tector, Lasse Regin Nielsen.
