MINERVA
Modular dual-channel digital infrastructure for the technical inspection of historic buildings
Description
MINERVA is developing a modular digital infrastructure aimed at digitizing the technical inspection methodology for historic buildings defined in ITEHIS. The project studies the feasibility of integrating advanced tools for capturing, storing, analyzing, and managing multidimensional information in an HBIM environment, with the aim of automating and optimizing inspection processes, improving decision-making and heritage management, and facilitating the preventive and sustainable conservation of built heritage.
Objectives
- Develop a modular digital infrastructure for the digitization of technical inspections of historic buildings, allowing for the coherent and traceable organization of the information derived from these inspections.
- Analyze the feasibility of incorporating advanced data analysis and management methodologies to support the assessment of conservation status.
- Study the feasibility of integrating advanced information analysis and management techniques into the HBIM environment.
- Systematize the methodology defined in ITEHIS using digital tools that facilitate its uniform application in different areas of assessment.
- Contribute to the improvement of preventive conservation through tools that promote informed decision-making and the prioritization of interventions.
Actions
- Definition of a structured heritage information model integrated into the HBIM environment.
- Analysis of advanced methodologies to support the assessment of conservation status.
- Digital systematization of inspection areas (Structure and Foundations; Facades and Roofs; Movable Property; Installations; Functional Behavior) in accordance with ITEHIS criteria.
- Methodological validation in a real operating environment in collaboration with TRYCSA to verify its technical consistency and real applicability.
- Technology watch aimed at strengthening preventive conservation and heritage management strategies.
Expected Results
- Structured model for digital heritage information management aligned with the ITEHIS methodology.
- Standardized tools that enable the consistent application of conservation status assessment criteria.
- Organized database that facilitates the monitoring of the building’s evolution and early risk detection.
- Technical framework that supports the issuance of well-founded and comparable reports over time.
- Technical conclusions on the applicability of advanced methodologies to reinforce preventive conservation strategies.
R&D Line
- Development of technical inspection methodologies for historic buildings and real estate

Networking
Cultural Heritage projects:
RETECHFOR
RETECHFOR aims to create a technological network to monitor forests and reduce environmental disasters, such as fires, in Castile and León.
iPhotoCult
iPhotoCult has as objective to design, develop and validate innovative and sustainable photonic solutions for the preservation of Cultural Heritage. These solutions, applicable on remote or in situ, include advance diagosis tools and a platform of services on the cloud that allos the precise monitorization of buildings, monuments and artefacts
RURBANIVE
RURBANIVE will establish a novel rural/urban innovation framework, supported by technical and social innovations to enhance territorial governance and existing policy tools.
RURACTIVE
RURACTIVE encourage a just and sustainable transition of rural areas through intelligent solutions, lead by the community, tailor-made, based on the local and inclusive inside the multi-stakeholder rural innovation ecosystems at 12 pilot areas (Dynamos, Ds).
SRURAL
SRURAL aims to investigate and advance in recognized disruptive technologies (cognitive computing, edge computing and dynamic geo-information), in addition to demonstrate their application in our natural spaces and their extensive cultural heritage (cultural landscapes as a whole), in such a way that causes a real transformation of the territory providing practical ways of proceeding with management
TExTOUR
TExTOUR mobilizes 18 partners, represented in the quintuple social innovation helix (knowledge, business, society, government and entrepeneurs) to co-design, validate and upscale to various levels, policies and strategies with positive impact on the socio-economic territorial development based on cultural tourism.
RURITAGE
RURITAGE enables rural regeneration through cultural and natural heritage (CNH). Has selected 13 rural areas as Role Models, i.e. successful cases regenerated thanks to CNH in 6 Systematic Innovation Areas.
ITEHIS
Inovative and digital technologies to proceed to the technical inspection of historical buildings for public or private use. The methodology proposed is based on the HBIM (Heritage BIM) paradigm
INSITER
INSITER eliminate the gaps in quality and energy-performance between design and realization of energy-efficient buildings based on prefabricated components.
SHCITY
SHCITY addresses the innovative challenge of creating a unique tool to manage historic urban centers and facilitate the work of the competent authorities in decision making. SHCITY will integrate data collected by sensor networks with artificial vision and 3D scanning technologies deployed in the urban area (Ávila), in order to respond to conservation, security, energy efficiency and tourism needs.
RENERPATH-2
The goal of the project called “Energy Refurbishment Methodology for Heritage Buildings” (RENERPATH-2) is to establish a specific European pre-normative, focused on the energy refurbishment of heritage buildings, whether public or private use, in parallel with the newly constructed buildings law.
INFIT
In INFIT, automatic data capture systems have been developed to obtain an accurate and objective image of the tunnel surface.
SITEER
Currently, inspections of road and rail tunnels are carried out manually. CARTIF and Geocisa have studied how to implement technologies that allow inspecting automatically tunnels to achieve its preventive maintenance, developing a system which is able to organize the collected data.
PAVIREX
The PAVIREX project, “New safer pavements in extreme temperature conditions”, was co-financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and FEDER Funds, through the INNPACTO 2011 call. The consortium of the project is formed by CARTIF, Grupo Campezo, Euroestudios , Proas (Cepsa), Eiffage, the University of Oviedo and the University of the Basque Country.
RENERPATH
This project, which was developed between 2011 and 2013, established an energy rehabilitation methodology based on novel and non-intrusive techniques for the energy analysis applicable to public and private heritage buildings.
