Being able to monitoring the integrity of tunnel segments through IoT technology promises major safety and efficiency gains in civil engineering. The idea is simple: instead of installing monitoring equipment once a tunnel has been dug, why not pre-install the sensors and data loggers in the tunnel lining itself from as early as the lining production phase? Given the importance of this innovation, it is unsurprising that a webinar on the smart tunnel concept, hosted by Worldsensing in November, was lively and well attended. Worldsensing experts Sam Buckley, Bastien Hardouin and Juan Pérez Arcas were on hand to answer questions.
Here are the top queries and their answers. For more information, listen now to the whole smart tunnel session.
