The sensors was applied on the fresco after laying more layers of a fully reversible protective by the restorers (if necessary restorers proceeded […]

Some load tests by optical measurement with precision level and displacement transducers were carried out for testing of bridge “Ponte delle Bilance” in Caorle (VE).

In 1908 the construction of the factory of chemical fertilizers superphosphate began. During the years – until the sixties – more buildings were added to older buildings, occupying an area of 36.000 square meters. In 1988 the factory moved its production in a more suitable area. In 1995 the City of Cerea, acquiring a part […]

The earthquake of 6 April 2009 in Abruzzo region had severely damaged the theater “San Filippo” in L’Aquila. During the work on the restoration and seismic strengthening of the church a system of monitoring of the major cracks by displacement transducers, combined with a sensor of temperature and relative humidity for correlation with environmental parameters […]

The museum “Gallerie dell’Accademia” in Venice collects the best art collection of Venetian art. From the structural point of view for the control of numerous and considerable cracks, a wireless system with displacement transducers was provided. Instead, for the control of environmental parameters, sensors that detect the temperature, the relative humidity, the level of carbon […]

The church of “Santa Maria Lacrimosa degli Alemanni” in Bologna has a cracks pattern in the vaults. During works for the seismic improvement of the church the situation could get worse. For this reason a system of monitoring was realized by displacement transducers for the control of the major cracks and by strain gauges for […]
