C O M 23 PIPELINE IN VEGETATED AREA MONITORING Early Detection North America Historical InSAR analysis shows the displacement rate of a landslide moving at 2 cm per year from 2007 – 2011. In 2013, a pipeline traversing this slope failed, causing a business interruption. CHALLENGE Geohazards exist on low-angle slopes, and slope displacement is often very subtle. Detecting and monitoring geohazards across thousands of kilometers of pipeline can be difficult. The pipeline right of ways are in remote locations; ground instruments and field visits can be expensive. SOLUTION 3vG analyzed radar satellite images acquired by ALOS-1 between February 2007 and March 2011. ALOS-1 is an L-band satellite whose radar waves penetrate through vegetation, and in some cases, light dry snow, to provide displacement information of the ground underneath. Technology: InSAR RESULTS 3vG demonstrated the value of InSAR as an additional tool for pipeline integrity managers focused on geohazards. An analysis of L-band radar satellite images acquired from 2007 – 2011 identified a land mass moving at a rate of 2 – 10 cm per year, prior to a landslide occurring in 2013 which led to a business interruption. Ongoing monitoring with regularly updated displacement reports can detect new risks that may develop and monitor known ones to help prevent geohazard induced pipeline R S T I N S T R U M E N T S .

This project is still underway. Technology: Vibrating wire load cells & IPIs (in-place inclinometers) Minimize Risk CHALLENGE Pier West engineers had to ensure they were not putting nearby infrastructure and buildings at risk during the project's excavation and shoring phases. They also needed geotechnical data to confirm design assumptions as construction proceeded. SOLUTION We collaborated with the developer and their geotechnical expert to develop an instrumentation plan. We supplied vibrating wire load cells and in-place inclinometers to monitor various shoring elements, including secant pile and cutter soil mixing (CSM) walls. We also installed IPIs at soldier pile locations along the shoring wall. Load cells were used at the same locations as the IPI to monitor tie-back anchor loading in real-time. RESULTS The sensors provided real-time data while work was underway and our monitoring system ensured the excavation and shoring proceeded without damage to nearby rail lines or buildings. The data collected was of immense value to the project owners, they can prove that no damage was done to surrounding infrastructure during excavation. R S T I N S T R U M E N T S . C O M 25 RAILWAY ARCH BRIDGE MONITORING UK Rail Network Cost Savings Network Rail needed to know if train loads were causing stress on a 150-year-old single-span masonry arch bridge used by hundreds of passenger trains every day. The bridge was showing its age, it had spandrel separation cracks, and longitudinal cracking and bulging of the spandrels, parapets and wing walls. Technology: RST Vibrating Wire Arc Weldable Strain Gauges CHALLENGE Network Rail was using conventional displacement monitoring which was often inaccurate and always expensive: they had to shut down roads and divert traffic in order to take the measurements manually. SOLUTION We provided instrumentation with data logging for real-time alerting and dynamic data logging during crossings. Technical services were provided for installation and configuring of the data logger and analysis software. Crack meters, strain gauges and a solar panel system to provide 100% active data acquisition, were installed. RESULTS We monitored deflection under the load of more than 35,000 trains. The sensor data was reliable, accurate and continues to transmit without interruption. Network Rail's engineers can now remotely monitor the bridge's structural integrity and track its long-term behavior without costly and disruptive road closures. Network Rail has adapted this monitoring system to other at-risk structures with similar age-related defects. R S T I N S T R U M E N T S .
