Condition assessment and structural investigation of heavily loaded infrastructure

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.

We are happy to help you

Your structure deserves a future. Protection against deterioration, strengthening its load-bearing capacity, and extending its lifespan are crucial to prevent damage and high costs. Sanacon offers independent advice and innovative solutions to keep your structure sustainable and safe – today and for decades to come.
