Answering your questions about the remote monitoring of bridges

Many of the bridges that make up Europe’s critical infrastructure were built in the 1950s and are now reaching the end of their design lives. As a result, the monitoring of their integrity and structural safety is a matter of ever-increasing importance. Making that process as accurate and cost-effective as possible is a priority. In a recent webinar on IoT Remote Monitoring of Bridges, we took a deep dive into how the Internet of Things (IoT) is meeting the challenges of this critical task.



Chaired by Worldsensing Area Sales Manager Arnau Carbonell, the session featured expert speakers Antonis Chrysovergis, Structural Health Monitoring Project Manager at mageba, and Victor Salinas Naval, a Geophysicist and Project Manager at Worldsensing. Unsurprisingly, this highly informative webinar resulted in a wide range of questions from online attendees. Here are the top queries and their answers—and for more information on monitoring bridges don’t miss out on the full webinar.

Questions

What developments are there in measuring the geotechnical and foundation elements of bridges?

What do you mean by IoT?

Do you need license for LoRa?

Could structural health monitoring replace some visual inspections on bridges and, if so, how?

What is your preferred technology for monitoring bridges: LoRa WAN, Sigfox 0G or aerospace IoT?

How do you deal with LoRa payload limitations? Is there a maximum number of loggers that can be on the network?

How powerful and what sizes are the solar panel and batteries used in Switzerland? Which installation do you use for supplying the gateway with power?

Can we replace the wire sensors with IoT-based sensors? And what is the price comparison between the two?

Are you able to determine the 3D stress sensor at a particular point in the structure?

What about the future for monitoring breaches? Will it be satellite, 5G or some other technology?

Regarding the cost and efficiency of satellite being connected with the technology, do you think it can become viable or it will be a matter of price?

What can you tell us about dynamic monitoring?
