Motorway Bridge Monitoring
TERNA SA – Motorway Bridge T4, Paradisia – Tsakona
The T4-Tsakona arch bridge will be the second largest in Greece, after the Rio-Antirrio bridge, and is considered as one the longest multi-span arch bridges worldwide.
The bridge reaches 400 meters in length and connects an area where a large landslide took place in 2003. It is a structure of extraordinary complexity, both in terms of foundation, as well as superstructure.
Set Point Technologies is installing a 100-channel distributed structural health monitoring system, consisting of acceleration sensors, strain gages, temperature sensors, load cells, tilt sensors and wind velocity and wind direction sensors.
Dam Monitoring
EYDAP SA – Mornos & Evinos Dams
Set Point Technologies, representative of Bartec Syscom in Greece, was awarded in 2015 the project for the installation of the Strong Motion Recorders networks of Mornos and Evinos dams in Central/Western Greece, as part of the emergency action plan of the project.
The lakes of Evinos and Mornos are the main water supply resources of the Athens Water Supply and Sewerage Company (EYDAP SA), which serves approximately 4,300,000 customers.
The monitoring project
The strong motion network of Evinos and Mornos dams consists of 5 and 3 instruments respectively. The measurement points on the dam are located on:
- Free field, downstream of the dam, to characterize the earthquakes and to measure the ground motion.
- In-structure, to measure the dam response at the locations with maximal modal deflections.
- Abutment, to measure the soil-structure interaction.
- Foundation, in a service gallery, to measure wave propagation in the dam foundation. The instrument at the dam foundation is present only in the Evinos dam.

In addition, Set Point Technologies carried out measurements by following the Ambient Vibration Method to determine the dynamic behavior of the bridge (eigenfrequencies, mode shapes and damping values) and to compare it with the theoretical finite element model.
Railway Bridge Monitoring
AKTOR SA – G5-Dafni Bridge
G5 is a concrete railway bridge over the Athens-Korinthos national road for the connection of New Ikonio port to the rail network. The bridge comprises two abutments and three piers with maximum pier height 28 m.
