Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS)
Distributed Temperature Sensing System (DSTS)
Project Name
Rail Line Monitoring System in Heet, Heet Area, Riyadh, KSA
Client
Saudi Arabia Railway (SAR)
​
Location
Heet, Riyadh, KSA
​
Scope of Work
SAR currently considering an alarm system along a 1.5 km long rail line segment because a significant risk may exist for sinkhole forming. So
-
A Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) wire-break emergency alert system. This system will consist of a shallowly buried coaxial cable, coupled with the existing grade, that will deform or break in the event of a sinkhole and provide a fast alert if a surface collapse occurs.
-
Short-term nodal passive seismic subgrade monitoring.
-
Implement passive seismic monitoring in the more susceptible zones beneath the rail line for the purpose of deploying a system quickly and being able to accelerate reopening of the rail line.
-
-
Long-term passive seismic subgrade monitoring using fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS).
