BC Fast Pilot - Implementation of data collection technology to assess the condition of vertical walls of a Spillway structure

FY 2020-21 · 2020-08-03

Summary
The proposed project is to implement Niricson’s data collection technology at a Pilot-scale to detect and quantify subsurface damage on vertical walls of a hydro dam structure owned and operated by the British Columbia Hydro Authority. The data collection and processing in-terms of acoustic signatures at multiple locations are proposed. The outcome of the project is in terms of a subsurface damage map. Successful implementation of this technology will lead to accurate assessments of spillway side walls while saving time and cost for the inspections.

Description (French)
Le projet proposé consiste à mettre en œuvre la technologie de collecte de données de Niricson à une échelle pilote pour détecter et quantifier les dommages souterrains sur les parois verticales d'un barrage hydroélectrique appartenant à la British Columbia Hydro Authority et exploité par celle-ci. La collecte et le traitement de données au niveau des signatures acoustiques à plusieurs endroits sont proposés. Le résultat du projet se traduit par une carte de dommages souterrains. La mise en œuvre réussie de cette technologie permettra d'évaluer avec précision les parois latérales du déversoir tout en économisant du temps et des coûts pour les inspections.
