DiTemp SMARTGeoTex Fabric

Geo-textile structures, beside reinforcing capability in the field of geotechnical engineering, can be also equipped with FO sensors for monitoring purposes. Thus DiTemp SMARTGeoTex Fabric becomes an innovative solution that combines the benefits of using geosynthetic materials with the sensing capabilities of FO for geotechnical applications and structural health monitoring.

The DiTemp SMARTGeoTex Fabric, based on the Raman scattering technology, combines temperature sensors with geosynthetic material and are designed for distributed temperature monitoring over long distances.

The geosynthetic provides filtering capability in order to prevent scouring phenomena around the sensor and increase the drainage of water towards the sensors.

The DiTemp SMARTGeoTex Fabric sensor is especially suitable for leakage detection in geotechnical structures such as dams, dikes and levees.

The DiTemp SMARTGeoTex Fabric integrates SMARTEC Temperature Distributed Sensor; the Temperature Distributed Sensor can be integrated with optional self-heating capability, to be used for active leakage detection.

The DiTemp SMARTGeoTex Fabric sensor is fully compatible with DiTemp® system. It is delivered on customized spools and with all the necessary accessories.
