Roctest Ltd, a leading manufacturer of sensors for civil engineering and industrial applications, announced it has been awarded the contract to supply market sensors and high precision measuring instruments for the Nam Ngum 2 dam in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. This, the second dam on the Nam Ngum artificial reservoir, is being constructed with rockfill and a concrete face. Standing nearly 200 meters high, it will contain at least 250 high precision measuring instruments. The project manager selected Roctest due to its unique and fully integrated product offering combining different technologies. A fiber optic system will be installed to detect water infiltration at the joints between the dam wall and the rock faces while traditional vibrating wire technology will be installed within the dam’s structure.
“Our recent success in winning business from existing and new clients is a result of our unique product offering which combines vibrating wire and fiber optics technology and differentiates us from our competitors,” said Francois Cordeau, President and CEO of Roctest.
