What is Building Structural Health Monitoring?
Building Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) ensures the safety, stability, and longevity of buildings. This process uses advanced technologies to continuously track a building’s structural integrity. It provides nearly real-time insights into performance under various conditions. As urbanization grows and buildings become taller and more complex, effective building health monitoring systems are now standard in modern […]
Importance of SHM in Dam Rehabilitation
The importance of SHM in dam rehabilitation cannot be overstated. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) plays a fundamental role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and longevity of dams. As many aging dams around the world face challenges such as structural degradation, environmental impacts, and evolving safety standards, SHM provides the data-driven insights necessary to guide effective […]
Structural Health Monitoring in Tunnel Excavation
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a critical aspect of ensuring safety and performance during tunnel excavation projects. Tunnels are subjected to complex forces and environmental conditions that can lead to structural stress, deformation, and other risks. SHM provides nearly real-time data on the structural behavior of tunnels, enabling engineers to make informed decisions and mitigate […]
Concrete Dam Structural Health Monitoring: Ensuring Long-Term Safety
Concrete dam structural health monitoring is a critical process for ensuring the safety, durability, and operational efficiency of dams. These monumental structures are essential for water supply, energy production, flood control, and irrigation. However, due to aging, environmental stressors, and increased usage, continuous dam monitoring is essential to identify potential issues before they escalate into […]
The Importance of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
What is Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)? Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a process of continuously observing and analyzing a structure’s condition to ensure its safety and long-term performance. Using advanced sensors and monitoring technologies, SHM detects changes or degradation in structures, such as stress, strain, vibrations, temperature variations, and displacement. By analyzing this data, engineers […]
Akhangaran Dam Rehabilitation Project
Akhangaran reservoir is located on the territory of Tashkent in the Republic of Uzbekistan, near Angren city on Akhangaran River, further upstream from the northern edge of the opencast coal mine. The reservoir is designed to increase the availability of water supply for irrigation, water supply for the industrial and municipal complex and diversion of […]
Kariba Dam Rehabilitation Project
Located on the Zambezi River, bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe, the Kariba Dam is a monumental structure constructed between 1956 and 1959, creating one of the largest artificial lakes globally. Currently, renovations include enlarging and reshaping the plunging pool, necessitating the implementation of an additional monitoring system for better dam behavior control during excavations and dewatering […]
Ralco Dam Rehabilitation Project
The Ralco power plant, managed by Enel Generación Chile S.A., is a key energy source in the Biobío Region, utilizing the Biobío River’s power through an artificial dam with a capacity of 689 MW. Teaming up with Geosinergia LTD (our local partner), we’ve implemented several upgrades: These endeavors are geared toward enhancing the dam’s efficiency, […]
Mercatale Dam Rehabilitation Project
Field srl has successfully implemented data management and maintenance for the automatic topographic monitoring system at Mercatale Dam, overseen by the Public Authority Consorzio di Bonifica Marche. This sophisticated system comprises a total robotic station and a topographic network of macroprisms and clinometers connected to a data logger, facilitating real-time monitoring. Operating in fully automatic […]
Sardar Sarovar Dam Rehabilitation Project
Sardar Sarovar, an imposing gravity concrete dam standing 136 meters high with a crest length of 1300 meters, underwent significant instrumentation upgrades. Originally equipped with over 300 Huggenberger sensors with Carlson technology installed around 1994, in 2021, we conducted a functional test of these existing instruments. Subsequently, we upgraded the system from manual to semi-automatic […]
