World Premiere Assessment of Performance of OSMOS Bridge WiM+D® System
Paris January 7, 2022 Official Press Release World Premiere Assessment of Performance of OSMOS Bridge WiM+D® System Combining Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Weigh-in-Motion (WiM) For Structural Bridge Assessment towards Safety and Preventive Maintenance Road bridges are facing the effects of both their ageing and the increase of the traffic loads, which justifies the necessity of combining Weigh-In- Motion (WIM) with Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) solutions for real-time and continuous assessment of the bridge for safety and preventive maintenance purposes. On...
OSMOS WiM+D®: Real condition use on an innovative Bridge Weigh-in-Motion solution on the Auzouer bridge (France)
As a pioneer in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), OSMOS has initiated decisive research projects and relies on highly recognized scientific partners. OSMOS takes special care about keeping its research updated at a high-end level and knowledge enhancement about infrastructures. Our goal is to contribute to the sustainability of these strategic infrastructures, which ensure the proper functioning of local and regional economies. The OSMOS WiM+D® automated solution is the result of research studies carried out in collaboration with the Gustave Eiffel Institute, Le Mans University and the...
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...

OSMOS is reinventing structural health monitoring for bridges and viaducts with WiM+D®
Infrastructure managers must contend with the widespread (and, in some cases, premature) aging of their structures, mostly caused by road traffic, especially heavy vehicles and oversize loads, passing over them. Thanks to its experience monitoring several hundred French and international sites, OSMOS has been able to push the limits of dynamic structural analysis and reinvent structural health monitoring (SHM) for bridges, thanks to its automated Weigh-in-Motion + Deformation (WiM+D®) solution. Detailed dynamic analysis: One step close to the structural reality of bridges ...
