Structural Health Monitoring of Can Fatjó Viaduct in Spain

Structural Health Monitoring of Can Fatjó Viaduct in Spain

In 2010, SGS Industrial Services, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification company, was awarded a contract to provide comprehensive monitoring services of the BP-1413 highway’s viaduct over Can Fatjó (Cerdanyola del Vallès - Barcelona) in Spain.

A team of highly skilled SGS experts monitors the main stretch of the BP-1413 highway’s viaduct via two 25-meter long optic fibers and 50-meter transverse optic fiber located along and across the soffit of the prefabricated voussoirs, respectively. This system supplies real-time data needed to manage and control the viaduct to assure its safety and reliability. Moreover, this technology can be used as a detection warning system to prevent fissures in concrete structures and for research regarding their evolution and behavior.

Due to the precision and spatial high resolution of the optical fiber sensors, SGS Industrial Services obtains very reliable results. The SGS measurement of strains throughout the fiber allows for obtaining not only the strains in all points but also for the deflection at the interest points. With its extensive monitoring services, SGS controls the passing load of the highway’s viaduct and compares the resulting data with that obtained in the previous load test. The analysis of the data gathered allows SGS’s experts to learn the viaduct’s behavior and take possible corrective actions to optimize the viaduct’s maintenance, repair, or replacement operations.

With SGS’s help, the quality, safety and reliability of the BP-1413 highway’s viaduct in Spain is guaranteed through continuous monitoring and to the client’s full satisfaction.
