Hydropower Dams – Structural Health Monitoring

2021-Ongoing • Philippines

Quick Facts

  • Add facts in ACF “Quick Facts”.

Challenge

Ensure continuous monitoring of structural integrity under seismic activity, varying water levels, and long-term material stresses, enabling early detection of anomalies to safeguard downstream communities and remain compliant with regulations.

Solution

Deployments have been based on the xDAS Sentry platform, combining:

  • xWave ultra-sensitivity accelerometers for vibration and seismic response monitoring.
  • xPlorer Premium with Voyager software as the central acquisition and data management module.
  • Observer Data Analysis Suite for advanced processing and Operational Modal Analysis (OMA).
  • xAlarm devices for real-time alarming and automated alerts.
  • xInc inclinometers (in selected projects) to expand monitoring to tilt and settlement behavior.

Outcomes

These systems provide hydropower dam operators with continuous real-time monitoring, integrated alarming, and advanced structural analysis. By ensuring early detection of anomalies, supporting regulatory compliance, and enabling timely interventions, the monitoring solutions significantly enhance the safety, reliability, and resilience of hydropower infrastructure across the Philippines.
