Case Studies

Olympic Footbridge

Monitoring of a pedestrian viaduct
Summary
Location: Italy
Project type: Steelwork structure with a cable-stayed arch
Installation period: September 2020

WHY MONITOR?

  • Characterization of the complex dynamic response of the structure and monitoring of cable-stay tension.
  • Definition of damage scenarios of interest and relative KPIs.
  • Continuous dynamic performance monitoring to support preventive and predictive maintenance.

DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

  • Executive design of the system.
  • Supply and installation assistance.
  • MODEL-DRIVEN service
  • Cable tension calibration and stay-cable instability checks.
  • Pedestrian comfort assessments.
  • Analysis of the dynamic response.
  • Non-linear FEM modeling of the structure with threshold definition based on damage scenarios.
  • Continuous data processing and activation of a 24/7 alerting service.
