• Tunnels are underground passages used for
transportation and an attractive solution for railways,
roadways, public utilities and telecommunications. Sensor 2

• In Malaysia, tunnels are used in traffic tunnels for Water
leakage
highway and railway, diversion and pressure tunnels
for water supply and hydropower tunnels for electricity
generation. Sensor 1 Sensor 3

• Regular monitoring and maintenance are very Risk Analysis
important to ensure the service life of the tunnels.

• The main aim of the research is therefore to develop a
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system for tunnel Visual Inspection & NDE Analysis & FEM:
Prediction of Remaining
Tests: Systematic
lining and also to predict its remaining service life. Guideline & Rating Life
• The program is divided into four main projects
comprising of visual inspection, prediction of service
life, video-based image risk analysis for tunnel lining
and safety and developing SHM system for real-time
monitoring.
