Statkraft Reservoir Monitoring Pilot Uses Fibre Optic Cables
Cautus Geo delivered and installed over two kilometres of fibre cables to Statkraft's new facility at Haukeli in January 2026, supporting a pilot project for monitoring and securing water reservoirs . Application Context: While specific details of the monitoring technology remain limited, the installation highlights the expanding application of fibre optic sensing for hydrological monitoring beyond marine environments, extending to freshwater reservoir management and dam safety applications . This represents a growing trend: using distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) for infrastructure monitoring in inland water systems, complementing the more widely publicized subsea cable applications.
