Our expertise
Vibration Monitoring and Analysis
Vibration monitoring is one of CIDECO’s core areas of expertise. Using high-precision accelerometers, we measure and analyze the dynamic behavior of structures such as bridges, towers, and buildings (Operational Modal Analysis).
Our engineers perform both short-term vibration diagnostics (dynamic load testing) and long-term monitoring to detect the appearance and evolution of structural disorders (modal evolution tracking).
The results support maintenance planning and structural safety assessment.
Structural Instrumentation
CIDECO designs and installs tailor-made instrumentation systems for a wide range of civil and industrial structures.
Our solutions integrate sensors such as crackmeters, tiltmeters, displacement sensors, and accelerometers, all connected through reliable data acquisition systems.
This instrumentation enables precise, continuous measurement of the structure’s response to loads, environment, or aging.
Load Testing
We conduct static load tests to assess the actual capacity of slabs, beams and other structures.
These operations validate theoretical models, verify structural integrity after works, and provide quantitative proof of performance.
CIDECO manages the full process: instrumentation, controlled loading, measurement, and data interpretation.
Innovative Systems
CIDECO develops and implements specific tools for on-site measurement and testing.
Our internal prototyping capability ensures adaptability to each project’s constraints.
Among them, the “Arbalète” device allows the efficient evaluation of remaining prestress in prestressed concrete
Research & Development
R&D is the backbone of our ativities.
Our engineers and researchers work on new sensing technologies and advanced data analysis methods.
Recent projects include the detection of soil movement linked to clay shrink–swell cycles, and the development of continous monitoring systems for bridges.
These innovations strengthen our contribution to the future of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).
