Abstract
A method of generating a geotechnical survey of a target area includes measuring DFOS data in an optical fiber located within a sensing distance of the target area and determining subterranean characteristics of the target area based on the measured DFOS data. A geotechnical surveying system may include an optical fiber and a DFOS device and a processor configured to calculate geotechnical data based on DFOS data.
Claims20
A method of generating a geotechnical survey of a target area, comprising:
- measuring DFOS data in an optical fiber located within a sensing distance of the target area;
- and
- determining subterranean characteristics of the target area based on the measured DFOS data.
A geotechnical surveying system, comprising:
- a DFOS device that includes a light transmitter configured to transmit light into an optical fiber, a receiver configured to receive light from the optical fiber, and a controller configured to execute a method of generating a geotechnical survey of a target area, the method further comprising:
- measuring DFOS data in an optical fiber located within a sensing distance of the target area;
- and
- determining subterranean characteristics of the target area based on the measured DFOS data.
