Aim: Knowing the real evolution of buildings structural conditions through all optical sensing monitoring and early warning detection system.

Technologies: Fiber Bragg Grating

Description: In order to guarantee a proper buildings conservation, avoiding then structure degradation, periodic maintenance and continuous monitoring of structures critical parameters play a key role. Since the structures to be monitored are often very large, complex cabling is typically required to address multi parameter sensing with traditional sensors, resulting in high costs and poor visual impact. The use of our all fiber optic based monitoring systems represent an ideal solution due to their unique features such as lightweight, easiness of multiplexing, multi-parameters sensing capabilities and minimum sensitivity to external influences. Multi-parameters sensing in critical points using Strain, Temperature, Humidity and Displacement FBG sensors combined with our remote reading units provides a complete monitoring solution to establish health status evolution using tension, compression and loading conditions as well as buildings temperature and humidity informations.
