Automated safety critical global movement monitoring of a historic structure with the use of over 300 vibrating wire strain gauges (VWSG).
Accolade Measurement Ltd installed over 300 vibrating VWSGs on the supporting columns of Paddington Station, London. The monitoring system design and installation was carefully planned to ensure all works adhered to guidelines relevant to this historic structure.
The movement of the entire roof of the structure was monitored during refurbishment works. Monitoring data was made available online, and a red amber green alert system was set up to ensure any movement of the structure remained within acceptable limits.
