Advitam
-
Advitam is a group of Civil Engineers, Structural Engineers and Application Developers who operate in a very narrow niche of Infrastructure
Management Solutions providers. A subsidiary of Freyssinet International (www.freyssinet.com) and Vinci Innovations (www.vinci.com),
Advitam was created to develop systems and applications to provide readily available, timely and accurate information for managers faced with the
tasks of operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of infrastructure. Advitam devotes itself to understanding the risks of deterioration for
infrastructures and implements software solutions, inspection, maintenance and monitoring systems in order to ensure their durability and
serviceability at lower cost.
We have developed a unique experience combining structure knowledge, management principles and computer science. After 10 years of experience in asset management software and structural health monitoring systems, we offer adapted systems to our clients for pipelines, bridges network and nuclear plants.
Our focus revolves around risk management and decision support, integrating all relevant information from varying sources, and making it centrally accessible. This focus, when combined with sound knowledge of engineering principles and experience in state of the art technology relative to information systems, yields a world class solution and provides the right information to be used by managers to make the right decisions regarding inspection, maintenance, implementation of control systems, rehabilitation and replacement.

Balvac
- Renowned as a specialist contractor in the repair, strengthening and protection market, Balvac have previously undertaken diagnostic and survey works. Recognising the need for a non destructive technique that can detect actual corrosion damage in reinforced concrete, Balvac have developed AeCORR - a totally non-destructive technique for detecting active corrosion damage in concrete structures. Unaffected by carbonated concrete, surface coatings or stray currents, AeCORR can detect and indicate the rate of corrosion-induced damage actually occurring during the monitoring period. This can be long before visual deterioration is evident, enabling full and efficient deployment of limited maintenance funding.

IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi (UK) Ltd
- IDS develop and manufacture radar equipment for non-destructive structural testing.
Products include contact radar for imaging of reinforcement bars, voids and cracks in concrete and and interferometric radar product (IBIS)
for remote measurements of vibrations and movements of large infrastructures such as dams, bridges, buildings with sub-millimetric accuracy.
IBIS is a revolutionary product in the field of structural testing in so far as it measures displacement directly at almost any frequency from one cycle
per day to 100’s of cycles per second and without the need to have direct access to the infrastructure to be tested.
The second application for IBIS is the continuous remote monitoring of landslides whereas very slow and minimal movements across an area as
large as 1sqkm can be constantly monitored in a completely autonomous way for months or years.

Imes Ltd
- Imes provides clients with an Integrity Assessment demonstrating how static structures perform under load conditions utilising
Acoustic Emission Technology. We supply the mechanical load through our patented product "WaterWeights" and provide load measurement
which is subsequently recorded within acoustic emission data aquisition hardware. This allows high impact visualisation of data giving
crossplots of acoustic emission data (typically generated by crack growth, plastic deformation and effects of corrosion) with load.
Additionally, the source location of the activity is determined on the structure. The Integrity Assessment is given in terms of a report
describing the data attained during a load test which replicates the service condition of the structure, but surpasses generally applied
service load. The client is therefore given the assessment of their structures performance under a greater than maximum load condition and
can thus satisfy themselves that the operating loads are posing no intergrity threat to their asset.
