Our ecosystem
R&D
Research topics often stem from actual needs identified while designing and rehabilitating structures, and our projects benefit from the research carried out by our team. It is this spirit that has allowed ASDEA to develop from a typical civil engineering office into a group combining engineering, hardware and software.
-
Engineering
Design and analysis of complex structures based on advanced numerical modelling, experimental validation and safety and durability criteria.
-
Software
Software solutions combining advanced simulations, immersive visualisation, Digital Twin and AI to detect damage and deliver predictive analysis.
-
Hardware
SHM systems with high-precision sensors and continuous data acquisition for real-time monitoring and predictive infrastructure management.
Expertise
We provide services such as geotechnical and structural design, finite element analysis, construction management and seismic risk assessment. We have significant international design experience and work closely with prestigious partners around the world, ensuring a design approach that meets project objectives efficiently.
-
Structural Design & Analysis
We provide structural and geotechnical design, analysis and consultancy, with specific expertise in advanced numerical analysis and seismic vulnerability.
-
Tailored Software Solutions
We also develop software for others. Our team creates custom applications for structural design, numerical analysis, and scientific data visualization.
-
Architectural Design
Architectural design of new works, interventions on existing buildings and urban planning tools: new buildings, restoration and renovation, urban planning and masterplanning, BIM service.
-
Structural Health Monitoring
Monitoring begins with inspection, survey, and structural identification, carried out through operational modal analysis or artificial intelligence algorithms.
-
Integrated Services
Alongside design, our team handles works direction and site safety, fire safety and sustainability, and supports clients in tenders.
-
Research & Development
We drive innovation in numerical simulations, software, and hardware designed for the civil engineering sector. Research topics often stem from actual needs.
Products
Sensors, acquisition systems and software developed in-house and designed to work together on the same data format, from the node that records measurements in the field to the calibrated numerical model and the dashboard that makes them available anywhere.
