Application of the OSMOS WiM+D® solution: measuring the impact of road traffic on the mechanical behavior of the Banarge Bridge

The Banarge Bridge, located in the Lot-et-Garonne department in the commune of Saint Pierre-sur-Dropt, is a road structure with prestressed girders that provides a link between the two banks of the Dropt. The bridge is limited in tonnage (40 tons). The project owner wishes to lift the tonnage limitation which prohibits the passage of certain common loads of the road code (44 tons). The project owner was also questioned because of the circulation of convoys of unauthorized gauges. An investigation campaign (SETRA protocol) was launched on this bridge with post-tensioned beams built in 1955....

Preventive monitoring implemented at a Safran Power Units production site

Thanks to the preventive monitoring implemented at a Safran Power Units production site, OSMOS averted the need for the operator to carry out major, costly reinforcement work before setting up a new piece of equipment In summer 2020, Safran Power Units, a world leader in gas turbines, planned to install a new 3D laser machine. Because that equipment weighed 10 metric tons, it was absolutely essential that the mechanical behavior of the floor slabs, beams and posts be checked, to ensure the structure would remain stable with that added load. The facility manager chose OSMOS to obtain...
