Tunnel monitoring with QuantumX and catman®Script in the Aescher tunnel in Switzerland
The monitoring of structures makes an important contribution to their reliability.
Differing demands are placed on the measurement system to ensure optimum monitoring.
In the application shown here,a tunnel in Switzerland is being monitored at a low sampling rate. But despite this, it should also be possible to track the onscreen measurement online.
Application and requirements
When monitoring the structure of tunnels,bridges and buildings, it is usually a matter of detecting changes in construction that could become more pronounced over time.
If these are noticed early enough, cost can be saved with suitable countermeasures. In the Aescher tunnel near Zurich, this type of monitoring is applied with a measurement system made up of QuantumX modules and a catman®Script. The Script not only allows the individual measurement points in the tunnel ceiling to measure but also to be displayed, as well as a real-time display in a y(t) diagram. During continuous monitoring,a maximum, minimum and average value are stored every 24 hours.
