Water containment
Omnisens DITEST-AIM solution provides full integrity monitoring for water embankment by performing the early detection of seepage and water level monitoring.
Most dikes or water lines disasters occur because of water infiltration. Seepages lead to streams of water flowing through the dike, ultimately destroying, through erosion, the dike from the inside.
The detection of seepage in water embankment and dikes by effective monitoring enable to prevent failure mechanisms to develop by implementing the adequate maintenance.
Prior to catastrophic release there will be a small seepage, which will increase over time and thus cause a failure of the entire dike. The visual inspection of the structure is inefficient to detect internal seepages leading to very poor flood protection approach.
Asset Integrity Monitoring - DITEST-AIM Solution
Omnisens DITEST-AIM solution improves safety and prevents human collateral dammages of water related structures. The implementation of DITEST-AIM fiber optic-based solution provides temperature and strain profiles with meter resolution over several kilometres. The embedded sensors in the dikes enable the detection of seepages and erosion effects before they lead to the catastrophic failure of the whole structure.
