| Description | 1. Structural Health monitoring (SHM) using fibre optical sensors (FOS)on the world's first full WIM and optical sensor BWIM with higher accuracy to detect axles using an adapted Moses algorithm - enabled on Loughbrickland bridge and has been functioning since 2012 to current 2. FOS SHM used to save several bridges in NI with new build savings beyond £1m by proving safety e.g. Dee street bridge, Abercorn Bridge ( proved light weight Basalt fibre slab and saved from demolition), M1 (NI) bridges with DBFOco. ( also savings in the disruption when a bridge is lost 3. FOS used in the tidal zone of restoration work on the titanic dock to assure safety of the historic doc floor and safe construction of new bund as part of the new Titanic Quarter in Belfast ( voted one of the top tourist destination 2016) 4. FOS and vision techniques used on Peace Bridge in Derrry to prove safety under crowd loading at the annual Halloween fireworks display. |
