Home / Tunnel Fiber Optic Cable Inspection
First step is to make an accurate inspection of the ferrule, using a video microscope. Today, modern monitoring systems allow reliable condition monitoring of tunnels using optical sensor technology, based on fiber Bragg technology. Fiber optic cables are thin strands of glass or plastic that transmit data as pulses of light. There are three main principles that needs to be taken in consideration for an efficient optical connection: a perfect core alignment, perfect physical contact and dirt-free connectors.
This contribution presents the application of distributed optical fiber sensing to the permanent monitoring of a highway, a railway and a penstock tunnel. For each project we provide information about the
Addressing the spatial limitation is crucial for the optimization of conventional tunnel monitoring, and the distributed fiber optic sensor (DFOS) offers a competent solution to this challenge.
First step is to make an accurate inspection of the ferrule, using a video microscope. Simply connect the fiber optic connector to the microscope probe and the test will be done automatically. Each type of
