Wires&Bytes fiber optic cables are not just limited to the Oil & Gas industry, where they excel in well logging and monitoring. They also play a vital role in strain and shape sensing for Structural Health Monitoring across a variety of assets, including roads, bridges, and railway tunnels.
By doing so, they help prevent emergencies and provide early alerts regarding potential structural failures.
At the OFS29 conference this week in Porto, Petar Basic shares insights into the cutting-edge technology behind our cables and highlights several successful projects across Europe where Wires&Bytes solutions are being deployed.

Many European countries are facing significant challenges in renovating their aging infrastructure. Among these challenges are:

Preservation of Cultural Heritage. Numerous assets were constructed many years ago and require careful monitoring to ensure their structural integrity is maintained without compromising their historical value.

Privatization of Infrastructure. The shift towards privatized infrastructure necessitates comprehensive planning for renovations to ensure efficiency and safety.

Emerging Technologies. The rise of geothermal energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and hydrogen storage underscores the importance of monitoring activities in the deep subsurface during both drilling and operational phases.

Commitment to Sustainability. There is an increasing emphasis on sustainable practices, which calls for innovative solutions that can adapt to evolving environmental standards.

Our solutions are designed to address these pressing issues by providing real-time data on structural conditions. This capability enables proactive maintenance and enhances safety measures across various environments, ultimately contributing to more resilient and sustainable infrastructure.
