Mode of operation<\/h2><\/div>

Large structures pose a significant risk to lives and property around them in case they fail. Continuous monitoring and preventative maintenance are therefore critical. Built-in sensor cables allow operators to detect and localize changes in the building fabric not only on the surface, but also inside. This is the only way to ensure targeted and customized maintenance.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Shielded strain sensor cables are mounted both on the surface and embedded in structures to register the slightest of shifts. Pre-strained cables enable the detection of swelling or shortening. Vibration-sensitive cables are used to detect micro-cracks when they arise.<\/p>\n

Brillouin and Rayleigh-based systems are utilized for infrastructure monitoring applications. Since structural changes are long-term and don\u2019t generally require 24\/7 monitoring. Mobile measurement systems can be used across multiple sites to maximize utilization and minimize cost. It\u2019s best to equip monitored infrastructure from the beginning, during construction with the right sensor cables. Retrofit installation is possible but limited to surface monitoring.<\/p>\n

Brillouin test equipment measures the light frequency shift of side-bands and transforms this into a strain value. Current systems enable detection and measurement down to a few Micro-Strain (micro-meters per meter).<\/p>\n

In order to increase adhesion between the sensor and structure, we offer strain cables with a textured surface. Increasingly, multi-function \u201chybrid\u201d cables are deployed to detect motion as well as sound and vibration.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Fiber Optic Dam Monitoring<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Dams and levees are not only endangered by movements of the structure, but also by earthquakes and moisture in the structure. In order to detect moisture and leakage in dam systems at an early stage, Solifos offer fiber-optic sensor solutions for monitoring the integrity of the dam. The data supplied allow a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical behavior of the dam. In this way, risks and threats can be assessed precisely and at an early stage. Here using the example of Lago Bianco in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
