Integrated monitoring and assessment of cables

Objective

Bridges are essential for the transportation infrastructure of any country. The peak of construction of the European Transportation infrastructure happened in the 1970th. It is estimated that 760.000 bridges are serving within the Trans- European Networks (TEN), the primary and secondary road networks. Owners of bridges experienced, that the critical age, where rehabilitation and retrofit works at bridges become essential starts after 30 years of lifetime. Inspection equipment with software tools to help bridge owners to assess the structures are expected to be the outcome of this project.
