Autonomous and low-power system for continuous monitoring of degradation (e.g., corrosion) in metallic or reinforced concrete structures in operation. Our solution is designed to work in highly hostile environments, reducing maintenance and inspection costs thanks to its flexible architecture with fixed, mobile, and underwater sensors. With PRISTINE, we help anticipate failures, optimize structural design, and improve the durability of critical infrastructures. The knowledge acquired with PRISTINE in ultrasounds and eddy currents, along with the data obtained experimentally or through simulations, allows us to analyze new types of degradation, materials, and/or geometries to adapt to the different challenges posed by our clients.

Problem it Solves

Structures exposed to hostile environments, such as offshore platforms, port infrastructures, or industrial plants, require costly and complex periodic inspections. PRISTINE addresses this challenge with an autonomous and low-power system for continuous monitoring of structural/component degradation (e.g., corrosion), enabling failure anticipation, reduced maintenance costs, and minimized interventions in hard-to-access areas. Its flexible architecture—with fixed, mobile, and underwater sensors—facilitates efficient and adaptable deployment, providing value both in operation and structural design.
