Monitoring Passport Development
What is it?
Monitoring Passport Development is a paid service for the development of Monitoring passport of the site.
By using this service, the user will receive a unique document that contains all the boundary values for all sensors (Monitoring Passport). Comparing current sensor readings with the boundary values specified in Monitoring passport BSCS system makes a decision on the changes in bearing structures.
In view of the fact that the list of parameters to-be-controlled, design solutions for each object is unique, this service is not included in the standard package of services Online Detailed Design and is paid separately. The cost of the service is generated individually for each object, depending on its complexity. Specific cost of development is determined by monitoring the passport in the contract for its development. Estimated value can be calculated by using BSCS Calculator.
Boundary values are calculated by using a computer finite element model of the site and simulating different scenarios of applying loads on buildings or constructions. Based on the calculations, boundary values of the sensors are obtained. If the sensors readings exceed the limits we can say that the building or facility is in a non-standard or pre-emergency state. All calculation results are summarized in reports. All documents including the finite element model should be applied to Monitoring Passport. In case of any changes in supporting structures of the site this approach allows to make quick assessment of bearing capacity, as well as maintain configuration monitoring system up-to-date.
After periodic inspections are held, the reports on the results are also applied to Monitoring Passport. This allows keeping data collected from bearing structures in a single document, which benefits buildings efficiency.
To improve the adequacy of the estimated finite element model of a real building, it is recommended to conduct an inspection of the constructed building in order to measure its dynamic characteristics and make subsequent correction of the finite element model.
The survey can be carried out with the involvement of specialized organization of your choice. In this case, the survey is conducted according to the technical specification issued by Monitoring Passport Developers. Also the User can choose the paid BSCS Structural Bearing Capacities Inspection Service at the stage of Commissioning.
How does this work?
After discussing payment terms and conditions, signing the agreement and negotiating technical specifications, the User provides input data required for Monitoring Passport development (in case the data provided previously is insufficient). The developer provides Monitoring Passport developed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Technical Specification. All works and User interaction with Monitoring Passport developer are made via BSCS Developer Service website, within Monitoring Passport Developer Service.
In case the User decides to proceed with the inspection with the help of a third party or use BSCS Structural Bearing Capacities Inspection Service at the stage of Commissioning, after inspection results are collected the finite-element model is adjusted with no additional fee and a new Monitoring Passport is issued by the Developer.
In case the inspection is made by a third party, before the inspection, the User should request Technical Specification for the Inspection from Passport Monitoring Developer.
