Bridge Construction Wind Monitoring

Wind monitoring is a necessary operation during bridge constructions. Strong winds can destroy a bridge under construction since it is a work in progress with poor structural design. Monitoring these winds in real time is much more accurate than using predicted weather forecasts.

Summary

  • Customer Need / Challenge

    Wind monitoring is a necessary operation during bridge constructions. Strong winds can destroy a bridge under construction since it is a work in progress with poor structural design. Monitoring these winds in real time is much more accurate than using predicted weather forecasts.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface suggests installing the WTS-WSS Wireless Wind Speed Transmitter Module on the highest point of construction, such as a crane. Wind speed results are wirelessly transmitted to the customer’s PC through WTS-BS-4 Wireless Base Station with USB Interface in Industrial Enclosure. It can also be transmitted to the WTS-HK-S Next-Generation Wireless Handheld can be displayed, logged, and graphed with supplied Log100 software.

  • Results

    Interface’s WTS-WSS Wireless Wind Speed Transmitter Module combined with Interface’s Wireless Telemetry System was perfect to monitor the wind speed in real-time during the bridge’s construction.

How it Works


  1. The WTS-WSS Wireless Wind Speed Transmitter Module is installed to a crane during the bridge’s construction.

  2. The WTS-WSS captures the wind speeds wirelessly transmits it to the customer’s PC through the WTS-BS-4 Wireless Base Station with USB Interface in Industrial Enclosure. Customer’s also have the option of using the WTS-HK-S Next-Generation Wireless Handheld. Results are displayed, graphed, and recorded with supplied Log100 software.
