Bridges and Viaducts

Bridges and Viaducts

OFITECO places special emphasis on the structural safety of bridges and viaducts, implementing both preventive and corrective measures. The company conducts regular inspections to assess their condition, identify potential risks, and develop solutions to enhance performance and extend service life. It also undertakes structural restoration and reinforcement projects to ensure the stability and safety of these critical components of the transport network. 

Inspections and Load Testing 

OFITECO has extensive experience in conducting structural inspections aimed at assessing the functional condition of bridges and viaducts. These inspections verify whether the structure is capable of fulfilling its intended function with an adequate level of safety. 

Through preliminary inspections and analysis of the original construction design, OFITECO documents and evaluates the condition of structural and non-structural elements, geometry, and actual typology, comparing them with project data and current regulatory standards. Load testing projects define both static and dynamic load plans, instrumentation layouts for each span, and expected performance outcomes. 

The result is a comprehensive report detailing the nature and severity of any observed damage or anomalies, along with an assessment of their significance. 

Instrumentation 

OFITECO designs, implements, and monitors structural instrumentation plans for bridges that, due to their uniqueness, construction process, or structural configuration, require continuous monitoring. 

Its experienced structural engineering teams combine analytical modeling with practical implementation, establishing effective instrumentation strategies and defining the correlation between measurement points and monitored parameters. 

OFITECO also offers its proprietary monitoring platform specifically developed for bridges: BRIDGEDATA. This web-based application provides comprehensive management of instrumentation data, integrating monitoring into the bridge owner’s safety program. It offers the tools necessary for real-time continuous control and detailed evaluation of structural behavior. 

BridgeData supports the entire monitoring process—from sensor data acquisition and storage to evaluation and integration into safety management workflows.
