- Detention Dam
- Gravity Dam
What does structural health monitoring of dams mean?
Structural health monitoring of dams is commonly referred to as the process of assessing the structural integrity of dams through early detection of abnormal conditions that could indicate danger and provide sufficient time for corrective steps to be implemented.
What are its features and benefits?
- Accurate analysis from incoming sensor data
- Non-invasive sensor technology
- Real-time structural anomaly detection
- Email or text alerts on forecasts
- In-depth knowledge on current dam health
- Detect early signs of damage/failure
- The expert is not required 24*7
- A comprehensive monitoring solution for dams
- Contextual insights for timely decision making
The most widely used sensors for structural health monitoring of bridges: –
- Vibrational sensors for structural health, behaviour and modal analysis
- Strain sensors
- Displacement sensors to identify joints, cracks and differential settlements of foundations
- Water level sensors
- Water Pressure sensors to measure hydrostatic and pore pressure
- Environment sensors for solar radiation, humidity and temperature
