Inspections & Investigations

Advitam offers a unique range of methods and tools for monitoring and assessing structures. Our services include analysis of the problem and the definition of a diagnostic solution, investigations and pathology identification and appropriate recommendations.

To provide the best services, our team works closely with prestigious partners for the development, testing and implementation of new investigative technologies. Among them, we work regularly with IFSSTAR (ex-LCPC) and Freyssinet, a world leader in specialised civil engineering.

Stays & prestressing cables

• The capacitive sensor can detect abnormalities in filling around the prestressed cables. This method allows to analyze the type of defect and to localize it precisely.
• The ultrasound can detect faults in cables at the anchorages. ADVITAM is able to detect strand breaks and their localization.
• Vibrating string: a measure of the effort and the amortization of stays through vibration analysis.

Prestressing bars

UPUS® measures the effort of a prestressed bar through the analysis of the propagation of an ultrasonic wave.

Concrete

SlotStress®: to directly and accurately measure the absolute stress in any structure in compression.

Global test loading

• Static Testing: Organizing, conducting and interpreting the relevant tests for the receipt of the work, such as measuring and leveling boom support.
• Dynamic Testing: In the context of achieving acceptance test on book ADVITAM realize the extent of dynamic effects on sensitive structures such as bridges, high range (> 200m), the cable works, pedestrian walkways, etc.
