- This project was commissioned by Sydney Water, Australia, to monitor corrosion in sewer systems, recognizing the problems of high humidity and acidic gases in the environment, limiting the performance of conventional sensors to ~few weeks. A novel approach using tailored Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG)-based humidity/temperature sensors, has been evaluated in situ in Australian sewers, confirming their durability, fast time response, and stability over an extended period of many months. This provides a basis for promising future practical approaches for such optical fibre sensors to be employed for measurements in such sewer systems in the long term in harsh environmental applications
