Antimicrobial properties can be incorporated into a variety of products for the following purposes: Increase the product’s service life by retarding or preventing the development of degrading microorganisms. Obtain safer products by preventing or retarding the development of microorganisms harmful to human health. To evaluate the presence of antimicrobial activity Read more…
Fire-fighting equipment and systems, domestic refrigerators and refrigeration installations and air conditioning systems use gases that may contain substances that are harmful to the ozone layer, such as Carbon, Fluoride and Chlorine (CFCs), Carbon, Fluoride and Bromide (Halon), carbon tetrachloride and trichloroethanes. A complete list of substances is available in Read more…
IPT’s activities in the area of building pathology aim to identify pathological problems in constructive elements, such as fissures or cracks, delamination of overlays, water infiltration in building façades, roofs and floors, and problems related to deterioration of construction materials. Over time, such problems in buildings may affect performance-related aspects 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…
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…
IPT is equipped to develop structural intervention projects in geological and geotechnical risk areas. Such interventions aim to eliminate identified risks by means of specific engineering works, such as slopes stabilization, drainage systems, surface protection, types of housing better suited to the terrain, etc. In addition to these direct actions, Read more…
