How wireless sensors protect infrastructure from vibrations

The portable laser displacement monitor is primarily used to observe the longitudinal creep of rails. The data collected from these observations provides essential operational guidance for on-site construction, ensuring the stability and integrity of railway tracks. This device plays a crucial role in maintaining the long-term safety and reliability of railway infrastructure. hashtag #RailwayTechnology #TrackMaintenance #LaserDisplacement #RailwayInnovation #ConstructionSolutions

Smoke dampers in tunnels - what, why, where?   What they do: - Powered dampers open and close to steer and extract smoke so people can evacuate and responders can work - part of the tunnel’s emergency ventilation system.    Why tunnels need them: - Fires in enclosed road or rail tunnels create fast-moving smoke, heat, and toxicity; ventilation must confine smoke and keep evacuation routes tenable.  - Modern designs favour local/point extraction via remotely controlled dampers over long distributed extraction - faster, more targeted smoke removal.    Road vs rail (same goal, different contexts): - Road tunnels: Systems manage smoke to protect users and structure; design considers critical velocity and scenarios like bi-directional traffic.   - Rail/metro tunnels: Keep smoke away from passengers and guide trains to safe zones; dampers enable sectional extraction and integrate with operations/signalling.    How they work: - Smoke dampers are integrated into tunnel ventilation systems. - Dampers open near the fire source to extract smoke, others close strategically to redirect airflow. - This enables targeted smoke extraction via fans and shafts.   The right solution: Halton Group Halton Wales's tunnel dampers are brutally tested to ensure they perform in the harshest of environments. - Customer-made to the mm. - Temperature tested at 400-1,000°C - Hot!🔥 - Air pressures up to 6,000 Pa - 100,000 test cycles - we've even hit 1 million! 🚀 - Compliance with BS 476 & UL 555 - Energy-efficient airflow design   #HeavyIndustry #Construction #Infrastructure #TunnelVentilation #FireSafety #WellbeingbyHalton

What if 100-year-old tunnels could set the standard for 21st-century engineering? 🚆🌊 After Superstorm Sandy flooded Amtrak’s East River Tunnels, Jacobs stepped in to lead a massive effort to restore and modernize this critical infrastructure. From structural repairs, power, signal, track, communication, and emergency systems to cutting-edge fire detection and ventilation modeling, our team is helping bring century-old tunnels back online — stronger and smarter than ever. We’re bringing resilience to life, one project and community at a time.

Redefining Sewer Rehabilitation with Digital Precision #Water and #wastewater management is becoming one of the fastest growing sectors in our European market. From century old brick sewers to modern pump stations, utilities face the challenge of maintaining and rehabilitating vital underground assets with minimal disruption. By combining the Flyability Survey Package data with Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) relining, we are helping engineers and contractors transform how these projects are planned and executed. The #elios3 delivers accurate high resolution models of sewer networks capturing cross sections, traps, branch pipes and ventilation stacks, giving stakeholders a precise understanding of conditions before any work begins. This data seamlessly supports CIPP, a trenchless technology where a resin soaked liner is inserted inflated and cured inside the existing pipe to create a seamless durable new structure. The benefits of this integrated approach ✔️ No digging, no disruption to communities ✔️ Faster safer and more cost efficient rehabilitation ✔️ Long lasting durability against corrosion and root intrusion ✔️ Smarter resource allocation through data driven planning Together digital mapping and trenchless relining provide cities with a sustainable scalable solution to extend the life of underground infrastructure. #SLAM #Elios3 #SewerMapping #UndergroundInspection #DigitalTwin #Innovation #tunnel #lidar #drone #mapping #subsurface #infrastructure

Guided boring brings accuracy and efficiency to underground installations. By using a steerable system, crews can place pipe with exact alignment and grade — even in challenging ground conditions. This precision reduces surface disruption and delivers reliable results for projects that demand both strength and accuracy.

Most municipal sewer systems across America are over 50 years old. That's decades of wear, blockages, and mounting pressure on already strained budgets. Here's the reality: aging infrastructure isn't just a problem: it's THE defining challenge and opportunity for sewer professionals today. The challenge? Deteriorating pipes mean more emergency calls, environmental risks, and costly reactive repairs. Municipalities are scrambling to keep systems functioning while contractors face increasingly complex jobs in crowded underground spaces. The opportunity? This creates massive demand for skilled professionals and proven equipment solutions. Cities need partners who understand the urgency and have the tools to deliver results. At Jet-Vac, we've been tackling these exact challenges for over 50 years. Our combination trucks, advanced nozzles, and pipeline inspection equipment help municipalities and contractors stay ahead of system failures instead of chasing them. Whether it's routine cleaning to prevent blockages, CCTV inspection to spot problems early, or trenchless rehabilitation to extend system life: the right equipment and expertise make all the difference. The infrastructure crisis isn't going anywhere, but neither are we. We're here to help you turn today's challenges into tomorrow's success stories. What infrastructure challenges are you seeing in your area? Let's discuss how we can help tackle them together. #SewerMaintenance #Infrastructure #Municipalities #TeamJetVac 💪 Justin Kohl

👨🏭 for soil resistivity and to proceed further for Earthing mesh calculations, We conducted Earth Resistance Testing using the Wenner Array (4-electrodes) method to verify the ground resistance to further calculate and design the effective earthing system at one of our project sites. Proper earthing is critical for: ✅ Personnel safety ✅ Equipment protection ✅ Reliable fault current dissipation 📐 Using a digital earth resistance tester, we measured a resistance of 9.12 ohms. Kudos to the team on-site for reaching at site early morning today, setting up and executing the test with precision! 👷♂️👷♀️ #ElectricalEngineering #EarthingSystem #GroundResistanceTesting #SiteWork #PowerSystemSafety #FieldTesting #ElectricalSafety #EnergyInfrastructure
