Objective
As part of the observation of the evolution of the disorders noted on a chapel located in a municipality near Montpellier, an expert is commissioned to instrument the monitoring of the evolution of the walls, during the work phase over a duration of 18 months.
Four DELTA L type crack gauges equipped with a strain gauge pack have been installed. The objective is to analyse the movement/displacement of the walls throughout the duration of the work intervention.
The sensors are connected remotely and a report will be established every 3 months on the evolution of the walls.
