CISMID and ERI installed 14 acceleration sensors in Peruvian buildings

CISMID installed 7 acceleration sensors in the Emergency Operations Centers (COEN), 3 in a house inside the project study area in the Chorillos district, and 4 in the headquarters of The National Training Service for the Construction Industry (SENCICO) to observe the structural health of their buildings in real-time. This system will be used to observe the vibrations of its structures 24h a day, detecting possible damage in real-time in case of eventual earthquake and tsunami emergencies.

The Japanese mission of the Earthquake Research Institute (ERI) of the University of Tokyo, led by Professor Koichi Kusunoki, arrived in Lima to install ITK acceleration sensors and single-board computers as monitoring servers, acquired as part of the SATREPS project.

Among the activities proposed by SATREPS, led by CISMID-UNI and the University of Tokyo, it is expected to install this observation system of structural health in different buildings; COEN-INDECI has been the first Peruvian institution in the context of this project. INDECI and SENCICO are important actors as they contribute by providing support of necessary information for the proposed objectives.
