Maintenance of the seismic equipment in Aktio-Preveza immersed tunnel
Published on 2020-09-18 in category: Case studies - Seismic monitoring
Project: Maintenance of the seismic equipment in Aktio-Preveza immersed tunnel
Client: AKTOR SA
Project location & date: Aktio-Preveza immersed tunnel, annually
Our company has undertaken the annual check and maintenance of the seismic equipment used for the Structural Health Monitoring of the Aktio-Preveza immersed tunnel, which was installed in 2008. The seismic system comprises of triaxial force balance accelerometers, LVDTs, temperature/humidity sensors, as well as recording units, industrial computer and GeoDAS software, manufactured by GeoSIG Ltd, Switzerland.
The nesseccary maintenance is carried out by our experienced and trained personnel and includes:
- Check of the sensors, datalogger and computer
- Visual inspection of the installed accelerometers, LVDTs and hydrometers
- Check of the LVDTs response
- Check of the datalogger configuration
It goes without saying the proper and long-term function of the seismic equipment can only be achieved by the proper and frequent maintenance by trained and specialized personnel.
Pull-out test equipment with test parameter monitoring system
Published on 2020-06-26 in category: Case studies - Geotechnical monitoring
Project: Pull-out test equipment with test parameter monitoring system
Client: Laboratory of Soil Mechanics/Department of Civil Engineering, National Technical University of Athens
Project location & date: Zografou, February 2016
In autumn 2015, the Laboratory of Soil Mechanics, led by Dr. G. Gazetas, assigned to our company the implementation of the pull-out test equipment, as well as the necessary instrumentation to monitor the test parameters.
The test equipment was manufactured in a machinary shop in Athens, under our supervision, whereas its design was based in bibliographical data and the Laboratory research team's instructions. The pulling and pressurizing devices are adjusted on the basic equipment, as well as the following monitoring instruments, manufactured by Sisgeo Srl, Italy:
All instruments are connected to an OMNIA datalogger.
