Services
Services provided by Epsimon include specification, design, procurement, supply, installation and operation of fibre optic sensing hardware and software for infrastructure monitoring systems. We have extensive experience in the application of fibre Bragg grating (FBG), distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) and distributed temperature sensing (DTS). These unobtrusive and robust sensors can be used to measure strain and temperature over large areas or long distances.
At Epsimon, we combine our in-depth knowledge of monitoring technologies with expertise in civil, structural, geotechnical and soil engineering, in order to provide the right solutions to the most demanding asset monitoring problems. This includes engineering interpretation of monitoring data.
