TECHNOLOGY

Interspan AQUILA’s state-of-the-art structural investigation technology enables such work to be carried out more efficiently and effectively, minimizing the costs and environmental impacts of construction and asset management.

EQUIPMENT:

  • The INSPECT platform offers immediate recording and centralized storage of all data relating to a structure’s assessment, inspection and maintenance in an asset’s cloud-based ‘2D digital twin’.  

  • A comprehensive range of high-performance NDT (non-destructive testing) equipment enables users to carry out a full, in-depth evaluation of virtually any concrete structure.

  • AQUILA’s industry-leading subsurface mapping equipment uses the most advanced ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology and offers real-time 3D visualization.

  • Non-destructive scanning of post-tensioning can provide invaluable insights into the condition of this vital structural element without affecting its long-term performance.

  • Drones equipped with suitable technology can be used to safely and unobtrusively carry out assessments of building façades and other hard-to-access surfaces.

  • The condition of the stay cables that play such a vital role in supporting bridge superstructures, roofs and other structures can be investigated using suitable NDT equipment.

SOFTWARE:

  • This future-oriented, cloud-based platform facilitates an “asset management” approach to structural assessments and inspections – meeting the expectations of authorities, investors and employees.  

  • Powerful software solutions unleash the vast potential of data post-processing and big data analytics for NDT equipment such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR) devices.

  • Latest developments include the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for state-of-the-art detection and categorization of structural defects such as surface cracking.

APPLICATIONS

AQUILA’s structural and subsurface investigation technology has been designed with a strong focus on versatility and ease of use – with a wide range of solutions that is sure to cover the needs of almost any project

  • Ports, airports, railway stations and parking facilities – just a few examples of infrastructure that can benefit greatly from a modern “asset management” approach to structural investigation work.

  • High-quality structural investigation of bridges, tunnels and similar structures can play a vital role in maintaining their condition and ensuring they remain in service.

  • Structural investigations of buildings – whether office, residential, commercial, educational or any other type – can help ensure their long-term service with minimal disruption to use.

  • Considering the cultural significance of historical buildings, there is much that can be contributed to the maintenance of these structures by high-tech NDT technology.

  • Wind turbines are subject to enormous physical stresses but are not easy to assess – a challenge that can be overcome using the right structural investigation technology.

  • The use of appropriate technology such as drones to evaluate vital electricity infrastructure can help avoid disruptions to service and minimize risks to health and safety.

  • Operations at manufacturing, processing or industrial facilities of any sort should not be jeopardized by unexpected structural problems.  

  • State-of-the-art scanning technology enables buried services to be precisely located, preventing damage during excavation work and supporting planning and design.

  • With its ability to provide real-time 3D imaging of what is buried beneath the ground, modern ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is revolutionizing archaeological exploration.
