Monitoring viaducts
Sant’Agata de’ Goti

Background
At the beginning of 2019, the Sant’Agata de’ Goti (BN) District Council signed up to a project that focuses on innovative technologies to monitor areas under threat from environmental risks (TISMA), through a partnership with an association of industry players and research partners coordinated by Pegaso Open University. Even in the first meeting, the council identified the main subject of analysis and monitoring as the bridge over the Martorano watercourse, which accesses the historic centre.
The solution
The site is of particular importance in terms of cultural heritage (the bridge over the Martorano watercourse is the ideal location for observing the historic town perched on the highest wall of tuff). The WineCap™ dual-axis inclinometers were the instrumentation selected, which have a metal enclosure and guaranteed IP67 grade of protection.
The result
By means of a remote control unit equipped with a SIM, the information from the dataloggers is logged continuously and sent to the cloud. The data can be easily accessed by personnel and maintenance operations can be scheduled in a timely manner.
