BRIDGES AND VIADUCTS
NEW CONSTRUCTIONS
STATIC, DYNAMIC AND FATIGUE EVALUATION OF EXISTING ARTIFACTS
This category includes designs for new bridges and viaducts, and the structural assessment of existing bridges, including rehabilitation and restoration projects.
Ideation phase
• investigations, surveys and analysis of problems
• identification of alternatives and operational directions
• pre-feasibility studies
• cost-benefit analysis of alternative solutions
Project phase
• preliminary, definitive and executive design
• documentation and assistance for financing procedures
• specifications and technical specifications, contract outline, contractual clauses, price list, bills of quantities and estimates
• documentation for requests for quotations and tenders
• Level I, II, III structural analyses relating to multiple damage, fatigue damage and seismic damage of single structures and bridge networks
• Prioritization analysis of interventions along existing infrastructure arteries, for bridge networks subject to fatigue and seismic damage
• Study and implementation of structural monitoring systems for single or networked works
• Design and implementation of BMS-bridge management systems for ordinary and complex networks
• Bridge surveillance and reporting operations for single or networked works
• In situ tests for the characterization of the constituent materials of bridge structures and analysis of the results
Construction management phase
• construction management, operational management of specialist works
• technical and administrative management assistance
• measurement, accounting, assistance and supervision of works
• testing and liquidation of the works
• “as built” construction design
Load and acceptance tests of bridges
• load tests on railway and road bridges with high-level optical technology combined with wireless microsensors
Bridge inspection
• inspection of bridges, viaducts, walkways with dedicated technical personnel capable of certifying the safety and state of conservation of road infrastructures (RINA certificate, level I and II)
