Sydney Metro Upgrade - Trackbed Monitoring

Australia

Outcome The Senceive FlatMesh™ system included 43 tilt sensors and 12 optical displacement sensors along with the gateway. The sensors connected wirelessly to a solar-powered gateway. Data from the sensors was relayed wirelessly to the gateway and onwards to a web portal. “The solution provided live reporting around the clock, as well as access to the data from anywhere with an internet connection, whether working from home or in the office,” Mr Guerreiro added. All stakeholders, including the client and the construction crews on site, could access the data. “I think the system has a lot of advantages over traditional monitoring setups because it is more flexible and gives live reporting,” Mr Guerreiro said.

“Engineers are still a little hesitant to trust in the technology 100% as you cannot change work methodologies overnight, so we continued to run the traditional setup as a back-up to the wireless system,” he added. Although the Veris team was able to install and set up the Senceive system themselves, Mr Guerreiro said having the advisory and support capabilities of a local distributor was important. “It was a steep learning curve for me and my team because we were under time constraints to get the work completed and it was new technology to me, but having the support of the Position Partners team along with my colleagues in Veris that had experience with it was invaluable,” he said.
