Geophysical methods consists of a set of investigative tools applied especially to the study of shallow submerged areas (coastal areas, rivers, lakes and reservoirs) considering the natural inaccessibility of these environments to conventional investigative methods. IPT uses mainly seismic methods called echo-sounding (double frequency), sonography (100 and 500 kHz) and Read more…
Dam maintenance and structural safety are fundamental for energy and sewage companies responsible for these important civil engineering works. These processes can also be optimized using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) tools. IPT develops web-based systems for dam management and safety analysis, which allow safety situations to be analyzed by Read more…
A ocorrência de processos geológicos-geotécnicos (escorregamentos, erosão, solapamento de margens, assoreamento, inundação, colapsos e subsidências) afeta praticamente todas as regiões brasileiras, tanto em áreas urbanas como rurais e empreendimentos. Esses processos, além dos evidentes danos econômicos e ambientais, podem levar à perda de vidas humanas. O IPT possui uma atuação Read more…
The occurrence of geological and geotechnical processes (landslides, erosion, washout, silting, flooding, collapse and subsidence) affect practically all Brazilian regions, in both urban and rural areas and at enterprises. These processes may lead to loss of human life, as well as the evident economic and environmental damages. IPT has a Read more…
