초록

국가의 중요 방재시설인 대형 댐 시설물은 노후화와 홍수, 지진 등의 위험으로 디지털 전환 기술을 적용한 보다 나은 댐 안전점검 및 진단이 필수적이다. 종래의 인력에 의한 육안 안전점검 방식은 인력 접근의 어려움과 고소작업의 위험성, 노하우 중심의 점검에서 오는 데이터의 신뢰성 등의 문제가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 2개 대규모 댐 시설물을 대상으로 드론 photogrammetry에 의한 디지털 데이터 기반 댐 안전점검의 적용성을 검토하고, 지속적 활용을 위한 데이터 관리 방법론을 제시하였다. 댐 높이 42 m 및 99.9 m의 댐들에 대해 수면 및 전자기장 간섭, 심한 고저차에도 불구하고 평면적 더블그리드 및 수동 촬영 방식으로 GSD 2.5 cm/pixel 이내의 양호한 3D 디지털 모델을 생성하였다. 생성된 3D 메쉬 모델, 정사영상, 수치표면모형으로 as-built 조건의 종단 및 횡단 선형을 손쉽게 추출하여 댐의 변형 모니터링에 효과적임을 확인하였다. 댐 여수로 등 콘크리트 시설물에 대한 디지털 3D 모델로부터 균열 및 손상부를 효과적으로 검출하고 시각화하였으며, 이는 고소작업의 위험성 및 접근 제약 시설의 안전점검에 활용가능하다. 또한 댐의 안전점검 시 외관 조사망도를 3D 디지털 모델 상에서 매핑하는 방법과 손상 정보 이력 관리를 위한 관계형 데이터베이스 구조화 방안을 제안하였다. SYG댐 여수로 안전점검에 대한 투입 노동력과 시간을 실측한 결과, 드론 photogrammetry 방법은 기존 인력 육안점검에 비해 48%의 생산성 향상 효과를 확인하였다. 드론 photogrammetry 기반 댐 안전점검 디지털 전환은 업무의 생산성과 데이터 신뢰성 향상에 매우 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

Large dams, which are critical infrastructures for disaster prevention, are exposed to various risks such as aging, floods, and earthquakes. Better dam safety inspection and diagnosis using digital transformation technologies are needed. Traditional visual inspection methods by human inspectors have several limitations, including many inaccessible areas, danger of working at heights, and know-how based subjective inspections. In this study, drone photogrammetry was performed on two large dams to evaluate the applicability of digital data-based dam safety inspection and propose a data management methodology for continuous use. High-quality 3D digital models with GSD (ground sampling distance) within 2.5 cm/pixel were generated by flat double grid missions and manual photography methods, despite reservoir water surface and electromagnetic interferences, and severe altitude differences ranging from 42 m to 99.9 m of dam heights. Geometry profiles of the as-built conditions were easily extracted from the generated 3D mesh models, orthomosaic images, and digital surface models. The effectiveness of monitoring dam deformation by photogrammetry was confirmed. Cracks and deterioration of dam concrete structures, such as spillways and intake towers, were detected and visualized efficiently using the digital 3D models. This can be used for safe inspection of inaccessible areas and avoiding risky tasks at heights. Furthermore, a methodology for mapping the inspection result onto the 3D digital model and structuring a relational database for managing deterioration information history was proposed. As a result of measuring the labor and time required for safety inspection at the SYG Dam spillway, the drone photogrammetry method was found to have a 48% productivity improvement effect compared to the conventional manpower visual inspection method. The drone photogrammetry-based dam safety inspection is considered very effective in improving work productivity and data reliability.
