In this way, it is possible to measure a seepage rate on the internalwall <strong>of</strong> the lining, an inlet air flow rate or the hygrometry <strong>and</strong> the temperature <strong>of</strong> this air.As is the case for connecting drifts, the durability <strong>of</strong> the monitoring system before closure <strong>of</strong> the shaftis ensured by the possibility <strong>of</strong> maintenance, by replacing the faulty sensors or adding new sensors inthe sections where the sensors which are buried in the lining no longer operate.Figure 10.3.21Instrumented section <strong>of</strong> a shaftFigure 10.3.22Equipment installed in a monitoring unit in a shaft wallFigure 10.3.23 shows a cage with vibrating wire extensometers used in the shafts <strong>of</strong> the Meuse/Haute-Marne underground laboratory.DOSSIER 2005 ARGILE -ARCHITECTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF A GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL SYSTEM417/495
