Modern structural diagnostics ensure secure bridges.
Building Owners / Asset Owners
Through digital building models, you can obtain a standardized, objective, and georeferenced overview of all relevant information. Therefore, efficient processes for digitizing a multitude of existing structures are of great importance. The significance of the results in the digital twin largely depends on the quality of data capture during inspection.
Digital inspection foundations for secure assessment of the condition result
Civil Engineer / Structural Engineer
To conduct reliable and traceable bridge assessments, you need optimally structured data. The collected data and results must be complete, of the highest quality, easily accessible, and capable of further processing without information loss. The basis for this is perfectly captured visual material to minimize your liability for the condition result.
Most accurate data for perfect data processing
Data Processor
Services such as AI-based damage detection, 3D structural modeling, and high-end visualization as a digital twin with a link to the damage report. Take your digital inspection to the next level!
Artificial intelligence handles the tedious work, allowing you to focus on the essentials. Various types of concrete damage can be easily identified by neural networks based on high-resolution images in the sub-millimeter range. Prerequisite: The quality of the images is perfect.
Only perfect image data delivers meaningful inspection results
Drone Operators / Data Capture Experts
The results of an inspection can only be as good as the data you provide it. Using drones to fly over bridges and structures not only offers the advantage of documenting areas that were previously inaccessible for inspections but also presents new challenges for you as a drone pilot. This includes ensuring a safe flight experience in areas with limited visibility and delivering sharp, well-illuminated, properly overlapped, and consistently GSD-captured images for your clients in all weather conditions.

Kochertalbrücke

Information about this project
Project Name:
- KOCHERTALBRÜCKE
Client:
- Implenia Switzerland AG
Project Description:
- Kochertalbrücke, (Federal Road) in Germany
At the Kochertalbrücke, we received a contract from a large globally operating corporation. This involved the use of modern technologies to capture the structure, enabling a precise comparison between laser scanning and photogrammetry. Using a 42-megapixel sensor, we conducted the captures to generate highly accurate image data. By applying photogrammetry, we were able to demonstrate its superiority over laser scanning.

Rosenbrücke
-
Information about this project
Project Name:
- ROSENBRÜCKE
Client:
- State of Lower Austria / Smart Inspection
Project Description:
- Danube Bridge in Tulln, Lower Austria
For the Rosenbrücke, we were tasked by a surveying company whose GPS-based system couldn't capture the underside of the structure. Their system couldn't "look up," and the design of the inspection machine proved to be too large for the task's requirements. The challenging job of capturing the bridge's underside was assigned to us. With our specialized equipment and specific expertise, we were able to overcome the system's limitations and successfully supplement the missing data for the Rosenbrücke. This ensured a precise and comprehensive documentation of the bridge's condition.
Services provided by ADP Rinner ZT GmbH:
- Flyover of the bridge's underside with AI model variant (GSD: 0.5mm) or model (GSD: 1.5mm) for model images

Contact
Our goal is to build the best drones for structural inspections. Early on, during the structural flyovers we conducted, we noticed that the drones available on the market couldn't deliver images of the required quality. With passion and dedication, we began to design and build our own drones. We are more than willing to share the expertise we have gained through this process with you.
