Bridge Structural Monitoring, Haringvliet, Numansdorp, NL
Numansdorp, Netherlands
Project duration: Summer 2023
In 2023, the Haringvliet Bridge underwent a major renovation in which the movable deck was removed and replaced. Throughout these critical operations, continuous monitoring was essential to safeguard the stability of the bridge structure and piers. Engineering firm Coenradie BV deployed the Basetime system to perform real-time deformation monitoring during the structural works.
Precise insight into the actual impact of the new bridge weight, significantly reducing risks of damage and liability.
Project Purpose
The goal was to continuously track deformation and settlement during the renovation. Because the lifting and replacement operations involved bridge sections weighing up to 2,000 tons, it was crucial to ensure that all structural components remained within safe deformation limits at all times.
Implemented Solution
Four Locator One units were mounted on the corners of the bridge abutments, complemented by a fifth unit acting as a reference station on a stable foundation. Configured at 24 measurements per day, the system provided detailed insights into temperature, tidal and load influences. Post-processing of daily averages filtered out external effects, enabling millimetre-level precision.
