Introduction

Background of Standard Revision and Technological Evolution

This revision (DL/T ××××-××××) is a comprehensive upgrade of the 2005 version of the standard, mainly reflecting three major technological breakthroughs: the introduction of fiber optic sensing technology, the application of micro-electromechanical technology, and the integration of GNSS positioning system. The standard deletes 4 types of outdated technical instruments and adds 12 types of new monitoring equipment, reflecting the leapfrog development of earth-rock dam monitoring technology in the past 15 years.


Analysis of Instrument Classification System

Monitoring Category Instrument Types in 2005 Edition New Instruments in 2023 Edition Technological Breakthrough
Deformation Monitoring 6 Categories 5 Categories, including Beam-type Settlement Meters and GNSS Equipment Millimeter-level Accuracy Improved
Seepage Monitoring 3 Categories 2 Categories, including Piezometer Water Level Gauge Series Dynamic Response Speed Improved by 40%

Core instrument technical parameters

Fiber Bragg Grating Instruments

Typical parameters of the newly added Fiber Bragg Grating Piezometer: measurement range 0~200kPa, resolution 0.02%FS, suitable for long-term monitoring of 200-meter-high dams. In a 300MW hydropower station application, it can achieve 72-hour early warning of abnormal seepage.


Implementation Suggestions

  1. Optical fiber and micro-mechanical electronic instruments should be used preferentially for new projects
  2. Compatibility verification of measurement principles is required for renovation projects
  3. Data acquisition devices should support multi-protocol hybrid networking
