Roccaprebalza Viaduct

Monitoring of an existing viaduct
Summary
Location: Italy
Project type: Composite steel-concrete box girder with external post-tensioned cables
Installation period: September 2017

WHY MONITOR?

  • Monitoring the evolution over time of the response of the external pre-stressing cables.
  • Early detection of the first signs of cable corrosion.
  • Real-time assessment of the condition of the strands under the structure's operational conditions.

DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

  • Executive design of the system.
  • Supply and installation assistance.
  • DATA-DRIVEN service
  • Analysis of structural vibrations induced by traffic loads.
  • Determination of expected cable vibration thresholds corresponding to adequate safety levels for the structure.
  • Continuous data processing via algorithms and activation of a 24/7 alerting service.
