[Sonas x02 Introduction Case] Demonstration Experiment of Condition Monitoring at a Dam

We will contribute to addressing the aging issues of infrastructure structures, including large concrete structures, and disaster prevention measures.

To verify the effectiveness of new maintenance and management methods for aging river structures, which are deteriorating like other infrastructure, we conducted a demonstration experiment using 'sonas x02' at a river demonstration field provided by Kawasaki City. The dam undergoes monthly gate opening and closing operation checks and visual inspections; however, due to the considerable time elapsed since its construction, there was a need for new technologies to assess its condition and enable remote monitoring. Therefore, we utilized this product to sense the vibrations of the dam during gate operations and flood occurrences, comparing them with normal vibrations to verify the dam's condition. The feature of operating for extended periods on dry batteries outdoors also met the requirements needed for this demonstration experiment. 【Case Study】 ■ Client: Kawasaki City ■ Challenges Before Implementation - There is an urgent need to establish maintenance and management methods utilizing new technologies for aging river structures. ■ Reason for Selection - Vibration monitoring during gate operations and flood occurrences is possible even outdoors without a power source. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
