Aim of monitoring:
During 2005 and 2006 the cathedral underwent a project for restoration promoted by the Riga Technical University. To allow a structural behavior evaluation during the different phases of the restoration and possible cracking propagation in the original structure, a permanent fiber optic sensor system was implemented.
