Construction
FOS&S sensing solutions are extensively used in civil engineering, mainly for Structural Health Monitoring of bridges, dams, tunnels, buildings, historical monuments, etc. By monitoring parameters such as strain, load, displacement and temperature, FOS&S solutions increase the safety of civil-engineering infrastructures and enable timely preventative maintenance, reduced routine maintenance costs and reduced remedial repairs. All this translates into lower total cost of ownership due to extended service.
Construction projects
Performance evaluation of Electrical and Optical Fiber Strain Gauges for Bridge Load Tests
Monitoring of bridges helps to assure the long term integrity and to
verify the actual load against the theoretical load.
New developments in fibre optic sensing enable also to use this technique for bridge monitoring.
Monitoring of deformation of I-profiles used for the foundation of buildings (CVR)
FOS&S monitors the deformation of I-profiles which are used for the foundation...
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of the Olympic Stadium (Athens)
The main objective of the project is the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of the steel roof structure of the Velodrome and the Olympic Stadium in Athens, by means of a fibre optic sensing network.
Structural Health Monitoring of the Stonecutters Bridge
FOS&S monitors the temperature and strain inside the stay cables by inserting several fibre optic chains...
