1. Agenda on the 4th
of november:
• Asset Integrity Monitoring Strategies & Cost/Benefits
analysis across different industries (Oil&Gas, Nuclear,
Power & Utility Networks, Transport Infrastructures)
• Case Studies: the use of FBG sensors and distributed
sensing technologies in different industries
• How to design and implement a robust and reliable
optical fiber monitoring system
• Data Interpretation and Management
Day 1: Technologies
During the first training day you will learn
all the necessary background on fiber
optics, from the physical phenomena to the different
sensor technologies, and how to implement them
onthefield. Both theoretical lectures and practical demos
will be presented in order to give a complete under-
standing of currently used optical fiber technologies.
Day 2: Applications
The workshop focuses especially on
industrial applications of fiber optic
monitoring. Industry oriented, this training day will
present different case studies on Structural Health
Monitoring (SHM) and Asset Integrity Monitoring (AIM)
within different sectors.
Who should attend?
This course is designed to provide participants with an
opportunity to manage Optical Fiber AIM. If you’re active
as a Facility Manager or Integrity Engineer in the Con-
struction, Oil&Gas, Nuclear and other energy industries,
this educational program is the best experience to
perfect your skills using state-of-the art technologies.
