fibrisTerre:
Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensing Solutions for Structural and Geotechnical Monitoring
fibrisTerre provides advanced, patented distributed fiber-optic sensing systems for long-range, continuous health monitoring of built and natural structures.
The technique delivers reliable, easy-to-use solutions that offer unprecedented insight into structural conditionsdetecting the earliest signs of potential risk.
Optimized for structural health monitoring:
fibrisTerres sensing technology is designed to monitor large, complex, and often buried structures, including:
- Piles, retaining walls, and tunnels
- Slopes, dams, and dikes
- Boreholes, storage caverns, and sewers
- Power cables, including strain-free high-voltage designs
- Mine areas and pipeline rights-of-way.
Key Capabilities:
- Unmatched Precision Detects and locates structural changes to within 20 cm over 2.0 km and to within 2.5 m over 80 km.
- Extensive Coverage A single interrogator unit monitors up to 80 km, ideal for long, linear assets
- Scalable Monitoring When attached to geosynthetics, the sensing area expands to detect ground movement caused by phenomena like sinkholes
- Live Data for R&D Provides real-time insights in challenging environments.
End-to-End Expertise
Beyond cutting-edge interrogators, fibrisTerre offers specialized expertise to ensure monitoring success, including:
- Project-specific fiber-optic cable selection
- Guidance on sensing cable installation and attachment
- Optical switches to expand monitoring capabilities
- A network of specialist integrators around the world.
