AFIC Monitoring System:
AFIC systems are used for monitoring deep horizontal displacements, settlements, and tunnel convergence.
The system comprises a sensor chain, data logger (C2000), and cloud software, with a flexible and adaptable design that can be installed in vertical, horizontal, or circular configurations.
The data logger supports 4G connectivity and various transmission protocols (TCP, FTP, SFTP), enabling real-time data transmission and third-party software integration.
Working Principles:
The AFIC system uses a chain of sensors to measure acceleration and calculate displacement by determining the angle between the axis and gravity.
The system ensures high-precision measurement with stability in raw data fluctuations and long-term monitoring accuracy.
Applications
AFIC is used in various sectors, including earth-rock dams, levees, building foundations, mines, and rock/soil slopes.
The system is particularly useful in safety monitoring, slope stability, and settlement monitoring in projects like the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and hydraulic control dams.
Engineering Examples:
Slope Monitoring: Automated monitoring of hydraulic slope stability, comparing manual and automated inclinometer data to demonstrate AFIC’s high precision and consistency.
Foundation Pit Monitoring: Comparing automated and manual inclinometer data in foundation pit monitoring to assess settlement and horizontal displacement.
Settlement Monitoring: Data from flexible inclinometer used to monitor settlement in construction projects, ensuring safety during hydraulic control dam construction.
Convergence Monitoring: Monitoring tunnel convergence in water diversion tunnels using AFIC’s circular installation setup.
Cloud Platform:
GINTEC’s cloud platform integrates data from multiple geotechnical sensors, allowing users to manage real-time data from various monitoring points. It features remote monitoring, data sharing, customized reports, and a warning mechanism.
Product Features:
The AFIC system provides detailed and accurate monitoring with high-directional accuracy, stable raw data, and low maintenance requirements. It includes advanced features like twist correction to improve monitoring accuracy in challenging environments.
In conclusion, AFIC is a robust and versatile solution for geotechnical monitoring, providing accurate and real-time data essential for the safety and stability of infrastructure projects”
