Sensor and DTS data management

​

OASIS provides sensor and DTS data management with a document content management system for experiments conducted by Nagra (the National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste in Switzerland). The experiments demonstrate larger long-term and smaller active testing projects.

​

Full-Scale Emplacement (FE) Experiment at the Mont Terri underground rock laboratory, Switzerland:

  • Multiple contractors continuously monitor more than 1800 sensors, 2.5 km of fiber optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) cables, time domain reflectometry probes and perform manual measurements.

  • Long-term monitoring started in 2012 with more than one million measurements recorded each day. The investigation is expected to run for at least 15 years. 

  • OASIS centralizes project information (documents and data) in a high-speed database. Collection, verification and evaluation of the data, addition of meta-data, calibration of the DTS data and alarming are done automatically. The Web browser app provides overviews of the project, summaries and status of OASIS and critical project systems, fast plots and tables for evaluation and reporting. The document content management system stores project documents. Data are available online just minutes after acquisition.

 

GAST (a large-scale Gas Permeable Seal Test) experiment in the Grimsel Test Site (GTS), Switzerland:

  • Approximately 135 sensors are monitored with recording rates as fast as every 10 seconds. Large data sets are quickly appended to the database and ready for use.

  • Dynamic changes in the test and monitoring setups are documented during field activities improving data management, stewardship, tractability and transparency.

  • By documenting what sensors measure, sensor configurations and when measurements are performed OASIS reduces confusion and errors that can happen when office personnel try to relate field notes with recorded data.

  • OASIS centralizes project information making data available online just minutes after collection. Authorized stakeholders can easily and quickly find, access, interpret, and reuse the project information. 

  • Automatic archiving of the database and field data improves long-term care of the project's valuable digital assets.
