Highly accurate measurements with a high temporal resolution have always been a challenge, especially for locations that are hard to reach since conventional geodetic deformation methods are often unsuitable for such locations. With fibre-optic deformation monitoring, cables can be embedded in an object and left alone to provide permanent deformation monitoring measurements. Such a system was installed in a dam in Austria to provide insight into the expansion of joints inside the dam when the reservoir level changes.
