CIVIL AND GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
Because of the unique properties of FBGs, specialists in the fields of civil and geotechnical engineering are increasingly relying of FBG technology. FBG sensors and cables can be surface-mounted or directly embedded into the structures that are to be monitored or tested for both short-term and long-term. Structural health monitoring of infrastructure assesses damage and risk, aids in proving-in new designs, and supports determining when repairs or even replacements of the structures are required.
Our FBGs are used for monitoring buildings, monuments, bridges, tunnels, dams, mines, slopes of mountains, airport runways, highways, and the tracks for various types of railways.
