The use of fiber optic monitoring for diagnosing and assessing the condition of a large-diameter sewage system

Diagnostics and evaluation of the technical condition of collectors requires conducting multi-criteria, complex analyses (often exceeding the standard recommendations) and using modern construction measurement techniques, increasing the safety of their operation. The paper will present experiences based on the assessment of the technical condition of a large-diameter sewage collector after several decades of operation. The issues of methods of diagnosing the causes of operational problems by means of modern measurement techniques and numerical models reflecting local geotechnical conditions and existing infrastructure will be discussed.
