fibrisTerre Systems GmbH
fibrisTerre systems detect and locate small changes in strain and temperature in long, large and complex structures. Ideal for monitoring slopes, bridges, tunnels, dikes, pipelines, power cables and other built or natural structures. The distributed fiber optic sensing systems are based on Brillouin sensing to deliver continuous, long-range structural health monitoring.

About us
-fibrisTerre provides structural health monitoring solutions. Combining its pioneering Brillouin Optical Frequency Domain Analysis (BOFDA) based distributed fiber-optic sensing technology and industry know-how, fibrisTerre integrates efficient and reliable distributed monitoring systems into critical structures.
Our Technology
fibrisTerre provides Brillouin fiber optic-based strain and temperature sensing technology which monitors continuously over long distances.
Our Mission
fibrisTerre aims to answer industry demands for truly distributed, continuous and precise monitoring solutions for the civil, geotechnical and energy sector.
Using Brillouin technology, fibrisTerre helps its customers accurately detect potential structural problems at an early stage thereby avoiding catastrophic failures. Continuously performing strain and temperature readings along its long distance sensing cables, fibrisTerre’s systems leave no critical spots unattended.
Industry and Applications:Ground movement, deforma...
Industry and Applications:
- Ground movement, deformation and erosion monitoring
- Early failure detection in large structures
- Fatigue monitoring of bridges, tunnels, dams
- Deformation detection in mines
- Continuous monitoring of slopes - embankments, cuttings and dikes
- Ground movement detection along pipelines.
Fiber-optic nerves for Structural Health Monitoring
Uninterrupted monitoring for stress and fatigue is essential to prevent failure of large structures. fibrisTerre's system uses the same standard optical fibers as everyday telecommunications – connected to an interrogator. The fibers become highly sensitive nerves within soil and concrete, detecting strain and temperature events and transmitting the data.
Dedicated to monitoring what you want to monitor: fibrisTerre has a global network of specialist partners
After evaluating your requirement, we will guide you towards a specialist installer or integrator local to you, the project, with whom you like to to work or one that has specialist experience and skills. Our partner will work directly with you.
We will advise on, when required,
- the best instrument and set-up for your project
- sensing cable specification and installation
- in-situ measurements
- data analysis, visualation and management options.
