Structural Health Monitoring is a critical part of Nuclear Engineering, especially during complex decommissioning processes. AVT have extensive experience in this area and our key capabilities and services include:

• Sensors for on-site measurements
• Data acquisition
• Data analysis
• Automated monitoring systems
• Fatigue assessments
• Finite element analysis

Effective structural health monitoring has a number of key operational and safety related features and benefits:

• Rapid understanding and assessment of complex structural responses for fast failure analysis and problem solving
• Increased knowledge of actual in-service loading conditions offering improved confidence in remedial work and FEA design inputs
• Reduced uncertainty in structural response predictions allowing FEA models to be validated and fine tuned

We have carried out a number of specialist projects in this area including work at Trawsfyndd and Sellafield. We work closely with third party engineering contractors and end customers.
