Sensor for detecting scour
A sensor for detecting scour comprises a body 2 adapted to be partially buried adjacent a submerged structure in a region of a riverbed expected to suffer from scour, a plurality of vertically spaced flexible fins 4, 6, 8 extending from a downstream side of the body, said fins incorporating fibre Bragg gratings or other electrical based movement sensors, wherein, once a respective fin is uncovered due to the action of scour, movement of the respective fin due to vortices created by water flowing around the body to which the fin is attached is detected by the movement sensors embedded in the fin, thereby provided an indicated of the progression of the scour. The sensors may comprise one or more strain gauges or crack gauges. The fins may be manufactured from an elastomeric polymer.
