Department of management systems, technologies and diagnostics (O21)

The system of management of pavements and bridges has a large impact on the life cycle of these structures and on their maintenance costs. Early and effective diagnostics of the state of structures, along with the subsequent selection of the optimal technology for their repair, substantially contributes to life extension of these structures.

Activities within this department are focused on the system of pavement management (especially the cement concrete ones), the system of bridge management, on diagnostics of such structures by classical methods, by a non-destructive method of acoustic emission and georadar (GPR). This department prepares conceptual studies on the application and maintenance of cement concrete pavements and provides services for the Ministry of Transport and the Road and Motorway Directorate. In the framework of international cooperation, transfer of foreign experience is arranged for individual areas of transport infrastructure, as well as cooperation on the solution of European projects in infrastructure (FP5, FP6, COST, and FEHRL).
