The highest road embankments in Poland – distributed temperature sensing (DTS)
To monitor the structural behaviour of the largest road embankments in Poland, we applied three independent measurement solutions: Inclify, SHMProfiler and EpsilonRebars from Nerve-Sensors. The latter were used to measure temperature distributions at the base along the entire width of the structure. Temperature results were used, among other things, to compensate for data from the two other measurement techniques.

Results of using the DFOS monitoring system
The measurements were performed at selected construction stages. The figure on the right shows example temperature distributions registered along the embankment base. We can observe high gradients (>10°C) depending on slope geometry, sun exposition and actual environmental conditions.
