Suorva Sweden Project - Case Study
Optical fibres have been installed in two of the dams at Suorva in order to further improve the monitoring of the largest man made reservoir in Sweden. The fibre optic installations in 2004-2005 were made in order to measure movements (strain) on the crest at the East and West dam. The West dam is 76 m high. A support toe berm were constructed in 2004 and 2005, also including an optic cable, ...

Distributed Thermal-Acoustic Data Integration
Silixa has developed a technique called Distributed Thermal Acoustics (DTA) to monitor simultaneously the thermal and acoustic profile along a hybrid optical fibre cable in submarine environments. Using its world leading distributed fibre optic technology (ULTIMATM DTS and iDASTM) Silixa deployed an optical fibre cable along the seabed and across the water column in an active gas seepage field. ...

Innovative Applications for Ground Temperature Profiling in Geotechnical Monitoring
“Because temperature changes can be indicative of other processes occurring within the ground, these sensors [temperature cables and thermistors] can provide useful data to engineers when site conditions start to ...

Texas Earthen Dam Seepage Flow Path Study - Case Study
Willowstick characterizes seepage flow paths through through the dam Background An engineering company was set to build a new outlet structure for a reservoir. They had been monitoring the dam for seepage and wanted to gain a better understanding of where seepage was occurring. Of significant importance to the client was the desire to characterize any preferential seepage flow paths along the ...

The Use Of Innovative Groundwater Seepage Detection Techniques - Case Study
INTRODUCTION Groundwater seepage can exacerbate environmental pollution through contaminant transport, pose a threat to dam safety and can also be associated with valuable mineral deposits. Dam safety, environmental remedial works and mineral location normally involve comparatively expensive techniques, but, if the extent and location of groundwater seepage can be accurately predicted, then the ...

High pressure pumping systems - it`s all in the design
High pressure pumping systems are used in a wide range of industrial processes. Careful selection of the components of the pumping system is essential for optimum safety and reliability. Failure to install a quality pump designed for the task could present a potential risk to human health or life or result in significant down-time and loss of production capacity with the associated costs to the ...

El Guapo Dam (Venezuela, 1999) - Case Study
Construction of El Guapo Dam began in 1975 and was completed in 1980. The dam is 197 feet tall and stores 114,000 acre-feet of drinking and irrigation water for the Barlovento Region in the state of Miranda, Venezuela. Because bedrock is deep (approximately 65 feet below the original ground surface), the embankment was built on a sandy gravel soil foundation. An elastoplastic cutoff wall extends ...
