Bridges

Bridge structures in many countries around the world have used Geokon sensors for measuring key parameters such as strain, displacement, force, temperature, inclination, alignment and settlement. Sensors are installed permanently for long-term monitoring and safety monitoring, or temporarily for load testing or to ensure safe working conditions during repair or strengthening. The associated data acquisition systems help ensure that any significant change in the condition or behavior of the structure is logged and reported and, where appropriate, made available on the internet.

Case Histories

Marbella Relief Road Viaduct

Marbella, Malaga, Spain

In 1997, a landslide occurred in Malaga, Spain, which caused the piers of the Marbella Relief Road Viaduct to tilt. To monitor the ongoing safety of the viaduct, eight vibrating wire Biaxial Tiltmeters were installed at the base of each pier.
