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…
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…
his response Cavitation is a phenomenon that occurs on the surface of the engine screws and rudder when the local flow velocities over these surfaces become extreme. This causes very low local pressure, which in turn vaporizes the water, resulting in: Damage to the screws or rudder blade due to Read more…
The handling qualities of a ship can be measured by its ability to maintain a stable course, to change course, to maintain its dynamic position (in waves, winds and currents) and to maneuver safely in port. Good handling ability leads to lower operating costs of the ship, since it represents Read more…
learn more here IPT offers real scale monitoring and measuring services on board ships and platforms. The work is performed by instrumentation specialists who monitor movements, forces and other variables during operations at sea in order to solve specific design or operating problems. The Institute also combines hydrodynamic, structural analysis, Read more…
To develop a high-performance vessel it is necessary to satisfy three basic requirements which must be treated jointly, focusing on the overall performance of the ship and its mission: propulsion, seakeeping and handling. Ships must have efficient propulsion, be able to overcome adverse wind and wave conditions and be seaworthy Read more…
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…
The difficulties inherent to the execution of real-scale trials have led to the use of alternative techniques to study and forecast the behavior of large works. For this purpose, physical scale models are often used to reproduce the different phenomena and typical situations occurring in geotechnical works. Using a given Read more…
go here IPT is active in the optimization of logistics systems involving ocean and river transportation, analyzing different project options, investment and operational transport costs. Performing transport simulations based on the technical characteristics of vessels, shipping routes and fleets are dimensioned, allowing for the most efficient use of available assets, Read more…
Oil and gas production operations at sea can be affected or interrupted by unfavorable wind and wave conditions. Planning of offshore operations requires a complete knowledge of the operational limitations which may cause interruptions of these activities. This analysis requires an estimate of the meteorological limits for operations based on Read more…
