Remote control and monitoring LAB: An original Pilot simulation of damage concrete pipes

Within the context of the specific tripartite convention: Laboratory of Materials Engineering and Environment University Ibn Tofail (UIT) – the National Office of Drinking Water (ONEP) – National School of Mineral Industry Rabat (ENSMR) implemented a project to determine the main cause of damage concrete pipeline used for drinking water in the semi-arid area of Morocco. For this purpose, the team of the project designed a novel and low-cost remote control experimental in the laboratory and in the field study, to simulate the problem of underground pipelines in their real environment.
Since it accelerates the corrosion of the reinforcement pipe, therefore, causes its degradation, the variation of the temperature-humidity and corrosion rate was automatically controlled. All these sensors and monitoring things were connected by the Internet for remote access via the open-source platform Arduino. On other hand to facilitate tracking in the field experiments, three devices were put in three different regions. Consequently, our goal is to develop special low-cost and open-source equipment suited for our specific project.
