Non-Contact Deformation Monitoring Throughout the Dam Lifecycle

Haytham’s dam monitoring solution uses the Online Visual Tracking System, passive targets, power supply, data transmission, and a cloud platform for continuous deformation monitoring of dams and hydraulic structures.

Horizontal Displacement · Vertical Displacement · Deflection · Crack Opening · Joint Movement

Non-Contact Visual Monitoring

Using oblique optical-axis imaging and sub-pixel tracking, the system remotely measures deformation at multiple points across the dam surface.

Key Features

▪ Long-Distance Monitoring

Remote measurement from downstream or bank-side locations

▪ Multi-Point Measurement

One system monitors multiple points simultaneously

▪ Sub-Millimeter Accuracy

High-precision displacement measurement under suitable conditions

▪ Continuous Monitoring

Suitable for long-term unattended operation

▪ Automatic Alerts

Multi-level threshold alerts via the cloud platform

▪ Sensor Integration

Supports water level, temperature, seepage, uplift pressure, and vibration data

Monitoring System

Visual Sensing → Data Transmission → Cloud Platform → Early Warning

Supports mains/solar power, fiber, Ethernet, and 4G/5G communication, with real-time dashboards, historical trends, report export, and API integration.
