DEVICE FOR PERFORMANCE OF OPERATIONAL MONITORING OF LOW-PRESSURE EARTH DAMS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E02B7/06 G01N21/88 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hydraulic engineering. Device comprises a frame 1, antenna units 6, arranged along the perimeter of frame 1, and motion sensor 5. Device hung on propulsion unit 7 with hydraulic drive 8, which moves along the dam crest, with processing unit 4, integrated in it. Hydraulic drive 8 allows setting the frame 1, consisting of two parts, joined by means of hinges 2, to operating position to move it along the upstream slope. It is possible to detect defects and damages both of the protective coating along the upper slope, and soil condition, constituting the body of dam, located underneath, for formation of demultiplexing and subsidence at early stage of their formation.

EFFECT: quality of the performance of operational monitoring is improved, and the presence of propulsion unit with hydraulic drive permits to speed up significantly the performance of investigation of low-pressure earth dams.
