NEWS, DEVELOPMENTS AND INNOVATIONS

Leading structural monitoring specialists AV Technology have successfully completed the first two stages of a complex monitoring programme for Farrans Construction during strengthening and refurbishment work on the spectacular and elegant Foyle Bridge in Northern Ireland (see Figure 1). Their part of the project has involved the strategic installation of around 450 pre-wired full-bridge strain gauges, 450 temperature sensors, 10 displacement sensors and eight jacking pressure sensors to keep a close eye on the behaviour of the structure as the work is carried out. Over 6 km of wiring was used throughout the bridge, connecting sensors back to central datalogging locations.
