Texel, Nl
Fluves set up monitoring for an HDPE pipeline buried several meters deep near a sand suppletion operation conducted by dredging company Jan De Nul off the coast of the Dutch Wadden island of Texel. In order to monitor potential movement or tension on the pipeline caused by the increase in sand mass, Fluves installed a surrounding fiber optic sensor network.
The methodology used is based on the Fiber Bragg Grating sensors (FBG) acquired from the Belgian based company Com&Sens.
