Ferrx AS is a research institute located in Trondheim, specialized in structural condition monitoring and analysis. The institute uses patented FEMM technologies for accurate stress measurement, which enables early detection of structural deterioration. This is particularly relevant for bridges and other important infrastructures, where monitoring of traffic loads and condition is crucial for safety.
In addition to bridges, Ferrx AS also offers non-invasive monitoring of pipelines in the oil and gas industry, as well as fatigue monitoring in subsea risers. The institute has developed methods for detecting and monitoring cracks in steel structures, and combines data to provide better estimates of remaining service life. By optimizing maintenance plans, Ferrx AS can contribute to cost savings for its customers, while ensuring that structures remain safe and functional.
