<p>A structural health monitoring system installed in a bridge produces a vast amount of sensor data that is analyzed and periodically reported to a bridge owner at an aggregate level. The data itself typically remains in the monitoring service of a service provider; it may be accessible to clients and third parties through a dedicated user interface and API. This paper presents an ontology to defining the monitoring model based on the Semantic Sensor Network Ontology by W3C. The goal is to enable an asset owner to utilize preferred tools to view and access monitoring data from different service providers, and in longer term, increase the utilization of monitoring data in facility management. The ultimate aim is to use BrIM as a digital twin of a bridge and to link external datasets to improve information management and maintenance over its lifecycle.</p>
<p>Crusell Bridge is a cable stayed bridge recently built in the city center of Helsinki. In the very beginning of the project the Client City of Helsinki decided to utilize the newest technology in all phases. The project was a pilot project in using Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in design and construction and finally in monitoring as part of maintenance. In order to develop modern maintenance scheme, an intelligent monitoring system was designed and installed in the bridge. The monitoring system has been tested by a loading test and comprehensive test results have been compared with theoretical calculation analysis. The results verified the design and gave designers guidelines to specify alarming limits to monitoring system. The owner of the bridge will get a summary report from the maintenance system once per year.</p>
