Case Studies

Borratino Viaduct

Summary
Location: Italy
Project type: Reinforced concrete (R.C.) lattice structure
Installation period: October 2022

WHY MONITOR?

  • Pilot project for the evaluation of SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) and DIGITAL TWIN infrastructure to support railway network operations.
  • Definition of damage scenarios of interest and relative KPIs.
  • Continuous monitoring of static and dynamic structural performance.

DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

  • Executive design of the system.
  • Analysis of static and dynamic response.
  • MODEL-DRIVEN service
  • Non-linear FEM (Finite Element Method) modeling of the structure and model updating following load tests.
  • Adaptation of SHM algorithms for railway specific cases.
  • Damage scenarios for defining thresholds regarding the ultimate safety of the structure and operational checks.
  • Continuous data processing and activation of a 24/7 alerting service
