Risk monitoring and mitigation systems


ARCOS Engineering has been designing and developing integrated monitoring systems for risk prevention and mitigation since 2007.

Under a long-term contract with SAIPEM S.p.A., ARCOS Engineering has studied and designed works in the desert of the United Arab Emirates for the mitigation of ballast contamination of the railway platform and the risks to railway operations linked to wind-induced sand migration.The development of joint fluid-dynamic models alongside innovative monitoring and testing systems means that the approximately 500 km of sand mitigation works built now represent the most efficient and functional system ever designed and built in the world.

ARCOS Engineering also develops traditional and active monitoring systems, where the monitoring system constantly analyses the data acquired and independently reports potential needs for caution or situations that could be dangerous in real time. Using customized software, the resolution of mathematical models, numerical, structural and geotechnical analyses are carried out independently by the monitoring system.

ARCOS Engineering has designed and built traditional monitoring systems for structural applications in the railway and civil engineering sectors, as well as active monitoring systems for bridges and structures in Italy and abroad.
