Following the construction of new facilities on the edge of an airport, the operator was concerned about their influence on electric and electronic equipment. In particular, excavation works were to take place close to the airport surveillance radar (ASR) foundations in order to bury new pipelines. Used to detect and display the presence and position of aircraft in the terminal area, the ASR is essential to airport operation safety.
During the construction work period, a RECOVIB.SHIVER was placed on the ASR foundation within a distance of one foot from the radar tower. Thanks to the permanent connection to the RECOVIB.IO platform, alerts could be sent in real time to both the construction site and airport operation managers. Warning notifications were generated when vibration levels were getting close to the allowable level and alarm notifications were generated when this allowable level was exceeded.
Using RECOVIB.SHIVER devices linked to the RECOVIB.IO platform, we provide ongoing monitoring of vibration and blast overpressure, enabling process optimization and transparent reporting to residents and authorities, ensuring environmental quality around the quarry.
