The Welland Canal in Ontario, connecting Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, is part of Canada’s St. Lawrence Seaway. This critical infrastructure was commissioned in the 1930s. Without proper measures put in place, it will eventually reach its end of life. GKM Consultants was mandated on several occasions to research, design, procure and install monitoring systems. Several different instrument types were installed over the years: crackmeters, strain gauges, accelerometers, convergence meters, and inclinometers.
While all of the projects were initially intended asi nvestigative in nature, they have built upon each other with the goal of helping the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation design a comprehensive Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) plan.
