Improving infrastructure integrity in Italy

Overview

The Metropolitan City of Milan uses a solution built on Octave technology and provided by Planetek Italia to strengthen infrastructure safety and maintenance and align with MIT guidelines.

The Challenge

As the country’s leading economic center, the Metropolitan City of Milan governs the city’s urban region, including the city and neighboring municipalities. This administrative entity focuses on urban planning, transportation and public services and manages the area’s extensive network of bridges, spanning over 1,500 square kilometers (about 580 square miles).

In the past, the city used a method for monitoring bridges that, while valid, had some limitations that may not have fully met the infrastructure analyses necessary to meet the requirements set by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT), such as the predictive approach.

The Solution

To strengthen the safety and maintenance of these vital infrastructure assets and to align with MIT guidelines, the city turned to longtime Octave partner Planetek Italia, which built the application Rheticus Safeway, a satellite monitoring system powered by Octave Alto Enterprise (formerly M.App Enterprise).

Rheticus Safeway provided immediate value by offering an additional informational layer that allows a better understanding of assets and accelerates evaluation and inspection of infrastructure as required by the MIT. Through satellite data and advanced algorithms, the solution enables the city to conduct a comprehensive census of its infrastructure, capturing key location information needed for further assessment and prioritization.
