Surveys, investigations and inspections are the starting point for understanding an existing structure. We document its geometry and state of conservation with non-invasive techniques, drones and inspections according to the Guidelines, providing the basis for safety assessments, interventions and monitoring.
We start from inspection, survey and acquisition of the available documents, and on that basis we design the experimental campaign. On existing and heritage structures we favour non-invasive techniques, which allow an objective assessment of current structural conditions.
The drone service covers aerial surveys and inspections of buildings, infrastructure and large or hard-to-reach areas. The photographs can be processed through photogrammetry to obtain orthophotos, point clouds, three-dimensional models and documentation supporting inspection and survey activities.
Visual inspections are a direct examination of the state of conservation of structures and building elements. The service includes the identification and classification of defects, photographic documentation, mapping of anomalies and the preparation of technical sheets and reports.
L0, L1 and L2 inspections cover the census, inspection and classification of bridges and viaducts according to the Italian national Guidelines. The activities include collecting basic information, visual inspection and defect mapping, assessment of risk factors and determination of the structure's attention class.
