Take a look at the very informative ORF report on the practical use of our SuessCo-6D sensors on ÖBB bridges in Lower Austria.
Stuttgart 21" railroad station project - monitoring movements during the construction phase
Initial situation
Stuttgart 21 is a comprehensive transport and urban development project to reorganize the Stuttgart railroad junction. As part of the project, new, mainly underground lines, passenger stations and a new main station are being built. In addition, there are listed buildings, such as the historic "Bonatzbau" reception building at Stuttgart Central Station, which is being extensively modernized.
Requirements
The STRABAG/Züblin construction group commissioned SuessCo Sensors to implement a digital monitoring system for vibration and crack gap measurement as well as for settlement and tilting of the historic building fabric during the renovation work. The aim was to identify any problem areas in good time so that the appropriate improvement measures could be implemented and digital documentation ensured.
Solution
SuessCo uses an innovative, digital monitoring system. This consists of 6D position sensors, which make it possible to record 3 longitudinal axes, 3 spatial angles and temperature data. The data is automatically documented digitally using an IoT network and made available to the client via the SuessCo portal. Vibration sensors were also implemented for the duration of the project. The vibrations are recorded using threshold values that were defined in advance with the client.
In addition, a GNSS system is used to monitor the absolute changes in position. The latest SuessCo innovation based on GNSS is used for this purpose. The absolute position of a point in relation to a zero point can be recorded using GNSS with an accuracy of ±2mm.
The SuessCo system transmits the data automatically via the mobile phone network. The various sensors, their positions and measured values are displayed in the online portal. The raw data can also be downloaded. The display of measured values, zero values, differences and alarms can be configured or adapted to customer requirements.
With this innovative sensor and monitoring system from SuessCo, the manual surveying activities previously carried out on such construction sites can now be carried out digitally, more easily and more cost-effectively. This fully digital solution also makes it easier for the project operator to maintain complete and permanent documentation.
Initial situation
The Burghauptmannschaft manages and looks after numerous buildings and infrastructures of the architectural heritage of the Republic of Austria, such as the Hofburg, Belvedere, Federal Chancellery and Palmenhaus. Various procedures and methods, including monitoring systems for safeguarding and documenting the historic building fabric, are used to ensure optimal preservation of the historic building fabric.
Requirements
Due to displacements in the area of the butterfly house, SuessCo Sensors is commissioned to install a monitoring system to digitally record movements at the palm house. Based on the findings from the monitoring data, the optimal steps for the renovation work are determined. In addition, SuessCo Sensors was used to digitally measure the movements during the work, minimize risk and prevent damage.
Solution
The SuessCo digital monitoring system consisting of sensors and software was installed to record movement data from neuralgic points in the palm house. The 6D position sensors make it possible to record 3 longitudinal axes, 3 spatial angles and additional temperature data. The data is automatically transmitted digitally via the IoT network and made available to the client via the SuessCo portal.
This measurement data can be used to carry out an exact condition analysis and determine the appropriate renovation requirements. The correlation of the measurement results and the graphical representation of the data takes place in the dashboard. In addition, a measure to increase building security was implemented as part of the project. Automated alarm values are used to send warning messages to a predefined group of people in order to identify relevant changes and derive the necessary steps.
SuessCo's sensors were also used during the crane lifting work in order to detect any particular changes to the structure caused by the lifting of heavy parts of the building in good time, thereby increasing safety.
Palmenhaus Vienna - Monitoring movements
Danube bridge - Monitoring of bridges
Initial situation
Bridges are particularly sensitive infrastructure, as they have to withstand high stresses and loads over a long service life. The safety of bridges therefore requires special attention. The Lower Austrian Bridge Construction Office is responsible for the planning, construction and maintenance, safety inspection and inventory management of bridges in Lower Austria.
Requirements
The movements of a Danube bridge in the district of Krems are to be continuously recorded and analyzed, and the system is to make the data available digitally. This is an old steel bridge whose condition is recorded and continuously measured in order to derive the necessary and appropriate renovation measures.
Solution
In order to include all the necessary parameters, SuessCo uses suitable sensors and a monitoring system to record the movement data as well as the temperature and weather data. The 6D sensors were installed on the bridge bearings to measure movement in all axes and bearing displacements. Integrated temperature sensors are also used. The stable LTE data connection ensures that the data is transferred to the dashboard. For the bridge construction authority, this solution means digital, ongoing condition monitoring in order to be able to derive specific renovation measures, a reduction in costs due to less effort for on-site inspections and an increase in safety, as critical changes are detected in good time.
What our customers say
"Thanks to the high-precision sensors from SuessCo Sensors, we were able to continuously monitor changes in the Palm House. This data helps us to protect this wonderful building and its historic structure."
