Case Studies

Po Viaduct

Monitoring of an existing viaduct
Summary
Location: Italy
Project type: Prestressed concrete (P.C.) lattice structure
Installation period: September 2024

WHY MONITOR?

  • Strategic monitoring for traffic flow on the A13 motorway crossing the Po River.
  • Control of the evolution of static and dynamic structural response in relation to changes in the state of conservation.
  • Continuous monitoring for preventive and predictive maintenance of existing structures.

DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

  • Executive design of the system.
  • Supply and installation assistance.
  • MODEL-DRIVEN + DATA-DRIVEN service
  • Non-linear FEM modeling of the structure and model updating following load tests.
  • Identification of damage scenarios to define thresholds of increasing severity in relation to the ultimate safety of the structure.
  • ìContinuous data processing via algorithms and activation of a 24/7 alerting service.
