How IoT Sensors Are Detecting Bridge Scour Early
In this episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how IoT sensors are revolutionizing the detection of bridge scour — the gradual erosion of riverbed material around bridge foundations, which is a leading cause of bridge failures worldwide. They dive into a specific case: the 1987 Schoharie Creek Bridge collapse in New York, which killed 10 people and highlighted the lack of monitoring. Today, advanced sensors like tiltmeters, sonar, and piezoelectric scour monitors provide real-time data, but challenges remain in powering them through harsh winters and keeping them…
