New generation of optical fiber based sensor system for the maintenance and monitoring of infrastructures
The patented technology uses state of the art optical physics to measure temperature, strain and vibrations of a structure or soil over tens of kilometers.
Distribuited Fiber-Optic solutions allow monitoring the integrity of infrastructures such as pipelines, umbilicals, wells, power cables, civil engineering structures, perimeter intrusion detection, or transportation infrastructure monitoring.
The technology uses innovative optoelectronic architecture and unique HPC (High Performance Computing) signal processing algorithm to measure accurately temperature, strain and vibrations over tens of kilometers. Robust and easy to use, Febus Optics devices are fully “plug and work”.
STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING
Ageing management of large scale structures, such as Nuclear Power Plants, Tunnels or Dams is a key issue for infrastructure owners. With little investment on monitoring with distributed sensing, lifetime can be significantly increased,security improved, and maintenance costs reduced.
FEBUS G1-R, G1-C, G1-D, as DSTS systems (Distributed Strain and Temperature Sensing) offer a large panel of monitoring possibilities with respectively: high sensitivity, low consumption and dynamic sensing. Real-time monitoring can also be a critical asset, especially for transportation facilities such as railways or viaduct.
For these applications, FEBUS A1 (Distributed Acoustic Sensing system) can be a precious monitoring asset for vehicle localization, axle failure detection or Eigenmodes frequency determination.
