In the industrial zone of Vilvoorde, this viaduct is a vital link for logistics transport. Given the intensive use by heavy goods vehicles and the age of the structure, SANACON was commissioned to conduct a thorough structural investigation into the bridge’s structural integrity.
Our approach:
Detailed Inspection: Visual inspection of the entire substructure, including piers, abutments, and the condition of the supports.
Corrosion testing: Performing chloride measurements and carbonation tests to determine the remaining protection of the reinforcement in the concrete structure.
Non-destructive screening: Use of electromagnetic measurement techniques to check concrete cover and reinforcement configuration without damaging the structure.
Maintenance advice: Drawing up a priority list for repair and maintenance work to ensure the safe operation of the infrastructure for years to come.
