Dam Monitoring

Quick Links

Dams play a crucial role in energy production, water management, and flood control, making dam safety monitoring essential for their functionality and longevity. Various factors—hydrological, geotechnical, environmental, and structural—can impact dam structural integrity, necessitating a method to ensure correct operation of the structure under all working conditions.

At Resensys, we offer a comprehensive suite of wireless remote monitoring systems designed to track key engineering metrics such as strain, displacement, tilt, settlement, vibration, temperature, leakage, and humidity. Our advanced monitoring technologies enable seamless oversight of dam structures from remote locations, ensuring timely detection of potential issues and enhancing overall safety.

Dam Safety Monitoring Solutions Offered by Resensys

The following are a few popular Resensys dam safety monitoring products and systems that are available for your consideration.  
‍
· SenSpot™ Wireless 4-Channel Levee Integrity Sensor: This device monitors the electrical continuity of up to four wire loops installed on a levee, detecting breaks caused by overflow or damage. It can localize failure locations over loops spanning several miles and provide real-time feedback on levee integrity.
· SenSpot™ High-Resolution Inclinometer: This wireless high-resolution tilt sensor monitors slope, settlement & inclination. It has a resolution of 0.00016 degrees (0.5 arc seconds).
· SenSpot™ Wireless Scour Probe: This probe detects under-seepage by monitoring changes in soil/ sediment/ sand levels around bridges, piers, dams, and levees. It identifies sediment presence at various locations, aiding in early detection of potential structural and soil erosion issues.
·  SenSpot™ Wireless Water Level Meter: This wireless dam water level monitoring system uses round trip travel time of an ultra sonic beam to measure water level and to detect flood conditions.
·  SenSpot™ Wireless Strain Gauge: This dam monitoring system is used to monitor gate cracks and stress in dam structures and possesses the capability of high strain/ stress event detection. It has a resolution of 1 micro-strain.
· SenSpot™ Wireless Displacement and Crack Meter: This wireless high-resolution crack meter sensor has a resolution of 0.01 mm and detects cracks in the walls (any kind of materials).
· Wireless Wetness Senspot™ Node for Rope and Leaf Type Sensor: This wireless leak detection sensing device detects leaks and measures wetness using rope and leaf sensors. The rope sensor monitors wetness along cracks and joints, while the leaf sensor detects leaks in the surrounding area, offering early warning of potential structural issues.
· Wireless Solar Powered Cameras: These cameras can provide visual evidence of levee structural issues such as damage, under-seepage, tampering or potential trespassing.
· SenSpot™ Wireless Weather Station: These dam safety monitoring devices are used to measure key meteorological variables such as wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity, etc.
· SeniMax™ Data Acquisition and Remote Communication Gateway: It is a solar-powered and energy self-sufficient data logger that uses cellular data service or satellite links to transmit data.
·  SenScope™: Resensys’ user-friendly client interface (SenScope™) allows data visualization, analytics and alert management.

Benefits of Resensys Dam Monitoring System

Resensys dam monitoring systems stand out from other dam monitoring solutions due to the following features:

· Real-time Data for Proactive Maintenance: These systems and products offer real-time, accurate data for proactive maintenance.
· Wireless and Battery Operated: All Resensys products are wireless and battery-operated. They can be driven by non-rechargeable or rechargeable batteries with solar chargers. The average battery life of these products using non-rechargeable batteries are 10 years, whereas of those driven by rechargeable batteries are 10+ years.
‍· Suited for Monitoring Dam Safety and Levees: All solar rechargeable units can provide a minimum of 35-49 days in the absence of sunshine. This makes them ideal for monitoring dam safety and levees.
· Easy to Install: All wireless products, including wireless sensors, wireless cameras, wireless tiltmeters, and gateways are easy to install in remote locations. They have no additional infrastructure requirements or need no external electricity source. These products can be easily installed even during early stages of flood.
· Effective Alert Management: These systems can send text message alerts and emails with visual alert interpretation on SenScope™ software.
· Customizable Solution: Most products can be easily integrated into third-party devices to form an effective system.
