DFOS Water Pipeline Installation in Hayward Fault Zone

DFOS was deployed on a new 140 m (460 ft) segment of 6-inch Earthquake Resistant Ductile Iron Pipe (ERDIP) in a location within the Hayward Fault Zone in Berkeley, California which had previously experienced water leakage and multiple main break events. DAS monitoring of the fiber optic-instrumented pipeline was performed during pipe commissioning and effectively quantified characteristic acoustic signals during filling, pressurization, and flushing. The… Read More »DFOS Water Pipeline Installation in Hayward Fault Zone
