Structural Evaluation and R.B.I.
Our service provides clients with decision support tools for the rehabilitation, maintenance and repair of structures and civil works. We provide:
- Structural risk matrices.
- Structural intervention plans and programmes.
- Support in the definition of maintenance budget capex.
Assessment of existing structures and risk based inspection.
Applicable to steel structures, it ensures that the structure operates satisfactorily throughout its useful life, guaranteeing resistance, serviceability and safety. The process consists of four phases:
- Preliminary assessment: Elimination of uncertainties using simple methods, identification of critical components by visual inspection and review of drawings.
- Detailed investigation: Quantitative evaluation of critical components using NDT inspections and detailed calculations.
- Expert Investigation: Analysis of major problems with expert engineers using probabilistic and fracture mechanics models.
- Risk Mitigation: Solutions to restore original design capacity or adapt to new requirements, including strengthening, repairs, load reduction and technological improvements.
Our approach ensures safe and operational structures throughout their lifetime.
