Ground breaking complete solutions for municipalities:
From checking of structures to maintenance concepts.
A case study:
The civil engineering department of a municipality specified
the testing, the evaluation under the aspects of double-entry
accounting and the development of the necessary recon-
struction measures for the municipal road network includ-
ing pedestrian areas, a bridge and a tunnel.
First of all, the road network was checked and assessed using
special measuring vehicles. Innovative accredited measuring
systems digitally recorded the substance characteristics of
the roads, such as cracks and patches. At the same time, the
longitudinal and transversal evenness of the roads was de-
termined using laser technology. In this way, the condition
of the roads could be assessed quickly, precisely and reliably
without impeding the flow of traffic.
