Strain sensor for tarmac airport monitoring / Project examples
IDIL Fibres Optiques developed Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) sensors for tarmac monitoring.
Strain sensor for tarmac airport monitoring summary
IDIL designed four lines of sixteen transversal strain sensors. They have been directly installed between two tarmac concrete layers of the Toulouse Blagnac Airport.
IDIL has a long experience in specific FBG packaging (tightened between two points) allowing an easy and effective insertion of the fiber into the tarmac. During this specific project, those sensors have been installed by the STAC (Service Technique de l’Aviation Civile).
Sensors have been calibrated on a dedicated bench.
