France-based OSMOS, a specialist in surveillance engineering, is extending its network of affiliated partners to the UK.
OSMOS already works with high-profile sites such as the Eiffel Tower, the Channel Tunnel and the Manhattan Bridge. The OSMOS system is based on fibreoptic technology and provides permanent monitoring for the target structure. This enables users to determine the exact time when maintenance work should be carried out. It also enables users to reduce the number of electronic and mechanical components required for monitoring, which leads to considerable cost savings, OSMOS claims. The monitoring apparatus is simple to install and does not require any maintenance. Surveillance engineering is designed to maintain existing infrastructures and extend their service life.
The OSMOS system can be used on a wide range of structures. Integrating surveillance engineering is also a way for engineering companies to offer their clients new, added-value services.
