Evaluation of materials used in paving structures with emphasis on asphalt mixtures
The good performance and durability of asphalt paving for urban streets, roads and airport runways are tied to a paving design for the intended traffic load, quality asphalt mixtures and the use of adequate construction techniques. In this context, IPT has technical teams and laboratories equipped to evaluate the quality Read more…

Evaluation and determination of safety conditions, comfort and noise of asphalt coverings
The quality of asphalt paving has improved significantly in Brazil, thanks to new techniques and materials used in laying down the layers of urban roads, freeways and airports. Moreover, the automotive and aircraft industries produce ever more stable, fast, silent and safe models, while the tire industry develops models that Read more…

Analysis of risks and causes of collapse and subsidence
We are sometimes taken unawares by phenomena such as soil subsidence and collapse at sites with or without civil works. IPT has ample experience in investigating the causes of such incidents, which result from carstic collapse (dissolution of chalk rock by flowing water), lowering of the water table or the Read more…

Determination of soil and rock parameters for civil engineering and mining
The development of projects for civil engineering, mining and oil works requires characterization and evaluation of the behavior of soil and rock massifs at the worksite. IPT’s field activities and petrology, soil and rock laboratories qualify it to determine the engineering properties of these materials. 40% off with code The Read more…

Studies of pathologies in wall overlays of buildings
visit this link Pathological phenomena that occur in wall overlays require a diligent search for the causes, which may seem innocuous, in order to correctly prescribe effective actions for their recovery. To identify a pathological phenomenon, IPT makes visual inspections, collects samples on site and performs laboratory tests, as the Read more…

Technical inspections and evaluation of pathologies in civil and mining works
Innumerable adverse phenomena or pathologies may occur during the execution of civil engineering works (underground works, foundations, bridges and overpasses, dams, roads, buildings, etc.), mining works and in finished structures or structures in use. Many apparently serious problems may be simply esthetic, while apparently inoffensive features can point to serious Read more…

Characterization of rock and soil massifs for civil engineering projects
Knowledge about the rock and soil massifs where civil engineering works will be implemented is essential for the preparation of technically and economically coherent projects. Identifying the spatial distribution of materials in the subsoil, characterizing their properties and determining the state of stresses allows for the design of safer civil Read more…

Analysis and design of horizontal directional drilling
The Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technique is used for the installation of duct lines, eliminating the need for open surface ditches and work areas. The purpose of this technique is to reduce impacts resulting from installation in environmentally sensitive areas or socioeconomic impacts on urban areas. It is applied in Read more…
