CARTIF PROJECT
SALUS
Detect damage to geomembranes with facilities of high environmental importance before breakage occurs
Description
SALUS project appears due to the lack of techniques able to detect geomembrane damages before these cause the rupture, and therefore, the environmental pollution.
To remedy this, the project’s goal is to develop a geo-multispectral system for defects early detection in geomembranes used in landfills and other high importance environmental sites.
The project partnership is made up of CARTIF and GEOTECNIA Y CIMIENTOS, S.A. The European Regional Development Funds through the RETOS COLABORACIÓN call which belongs to the Economy and Competitiveness Ministry contributes funding of 554.221,41 € .
Objectives
Develop a Geo-Multispectral system for defects early detection in geomembranes used in landfills and other high importance environmental sites.
Actions
-
Characterization of the geomembranes installation procedure in landfills.
-
Election of the more convenient illumination regarding the multispectral range in order to highlight the defects on the geomembranes surface.
-
Acquired images georeferencing.
-
Design and development of a mobile platform to carry all the equipment necessary to detect geomembranes defects.
Achieved results
-
Visual Inspection System Development based on multispectral illumination which is able to the early detection of potential geomembrane defects.
-
Geomembranes secure installation methodology.

Infraestructures projects:
LIFE HUELLAS
LIFE-HUELLAS project looks for the enviroonmntal assessment of the life cycle of the rail transport to correctly assess its environmneta impact.
SORTI
The objective of the SORTI project is to develop optical systems based tools and new technologies to properly identifying, monitoring and managing of structural risks in buildings.
REZBUILD
The main objective of the REZBUILD project is to create a collaborative rehabilitation ecosystem, integrating innovative technologies, and focusing on the existing housing stock. The aim is to increase the annual rate of building renovation from the current 1% to try to reach 2.5%.
REPARA 2.0
REPARA 2.0 aims to develop new technologies and methodologies that support infrastructure management and allow the rehabilitation and conservation of any type of road at a lower economic and environmental cost.
REHABCAR
El proyecto REHABCAR (REHABilitación de CARreteras y autopistas) desarrolló nuevas herramientas para la transformación de las carreteras y autovías existentes en infraestructuras económicamente sostenibles y de alta calidad para prolongar su vida útil y adaptarlas a las nuevas necesidades del tráfico.
