Source:Industrial Automation /
Time:2026-08-13
Cautus Geo's January 2026 installation of over two kilometres of fibre cables for Statkraft at Haukeli represents a significant application of fibre optic sensing technology for freshwater reservoir monitoring .
Project Significance:
Supports a pilot project for monitoring and securing water reservoirs
Demonstrates expansion of fibre optic sensing beyond marine environments
Applicable to dam safety and water resource management
Technology Context:
The Statkraft pilot project reflects the broader trend of applying Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing (DOFS) for infrastructure monitoring in inland water systems, complementing the more widely publicized subsea cable applications .
