The team at FibreSecurity bv / NTSG Italia srl has developed a ground breaking patented use of fibre optic based continuous sensing in infrastructure asset management.Whilst the technology is used as a monitoring system elsewhere, the NTSG particular advance is in the amount of data streams that can be accessed on a continuing basis, producing a 2D and 3D model of changes and strains in a structure. This also generates alarms, push notifications to hand held and desktop machines, in real time, which can be for validation of technical specifications or monitor mechanical and physio-chemical changes in materials.Our people, coming from NASA, engineering and mathematical backgrounds, are expert in disseminating and increasing understanding of how digital tech helps contractors, asset owners, designers, data analysts in construction, safety and maintenance of assets.This system can be applied in a great variety of sectors, from building monitoring to pipelines (water, gas, oil etc), recognising gases as well as movement. The company, based in Europe, has already delivered a large number of significant monitoring projects in Italy and Holland on bridges, highways, dykes, water systems and motorway safety schemes.
