Thanks to its expertise and innovative solutions, OSMOS gives managers of structures and engineering and construction companies the possibility of continuously monitoring changes to their structures, in real time.
OUR SOLUTIONS APPLY TO ALL KINDS OF STRUCTURES:
• Infrastructure • Ancient heritage • Industry • Buildings
Download hereInfrastructure 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
PRESS RELEASE
OSMOS GROUP and KISR implement an innovative solution for structural health monitoring and weigh-in-motion on PART’s Cairo Bridge in Kuwait
The Kuwait Public Authority for Roads & Transportation (PART) is conducting an important construction project on a Bridge supporting the Istiqlal Street over the Cairo Street in the city of Hawally.
These works consist in excavating two underpasses below the bridge, 10 meters below the original level, constructing retaining walls on both sides and near the bridge piles, reinforcing the piles with a structural support system, raising temporarily the deck of the bridge and replacing its bearing devices.
The Loire-Atlantique Departmental Council has taken a preventive approach in commissioning OSMOS to check the real-world mechanical behavior of two bridges over the river. The enhanced monitoring of those structures will maintain their service levels and ensure user safety, while awaiting major rehabilitation work.
Extending over a length of 7.2 miles (11.6 km), the Mont Blanc Tunnel is a strategic feat of engineering that offers fast travel between France and Italy. It is a major trade route that supports the local and inter-regional economy. In fact, substantial traffic travels along it daily, contributing to its wear and tear. The tunnel is operated by a Franco-Italian organization, the GEIE-TMB (Mont Blanc Tunnel European Economic Interest Group). The company is responsible for the tunnel’s structural monitoring and maintenance, as well as traffic safety and management.
“Some 25,000 bridges are in poor structural condition and pose safety and availability issues for users”

PRESS RELEASE
Restoration of the right-side abutment of the Stone Bridge in Libourne: How the teams from OSMOS Group succeeded in installing a comprehensive monitoring system in compliance with the architectural requirements of the work.
The Stone Bridge in Libourne was built in 1820 to create a road connection between Bordeaux and Saint-Emilion for the transport of wine. The structure is both an icon of the Gironde region and part of its heritage. The red bricks used to construct it were made in the greater Nouvelle-Aquitaine region and attest to the masonry expertise characteristic of the Gironde area.
