ACK3 - Cable-Stayed Bridge across the Albert Canal

A new cable-stayed bridge was built over the Albert Canal in Belgium. The longest stay cables had to be equipped with dampers in order to prevent dangerous cable vibrations. The bridge was equipped with a permanent monitoring system consisting of a meteorological station, accelerometers for selected stay cables and deformation sensors for the monitoring of the damper function. All measurement data are made available to the client via the BRIMOS® Web-User-Interface.
