  • Structure 360°

    Complete insight. Total safety.

With Structure 360°, risks can be minimized and the service life of structures can be extended.

Infrastructure is under greater pressure today than ever before: increasing loads, ageing structures and budget constraints mean that decisions to maintain, rehabilitate or rebuild must be based on solid data and analysis. At the same time, data volumes are growing and technical disciplines are becoming more specialized, making it difficult to assess complex structures holistically. This makes it increasingly important for designers and construction managers to have a clear understanding of the condition of their infrastructure and to recognize any changes at an early stage. Only then can they minimize risks at an early stage, prioritize measures in a targeted manner, and manage investments sustainably. This is where Structure 360° comes in, providing a modern, integrated view of the structural condition and how it changes over time.

What is Structure 360°?

A holistic solution for your structure

Structure 360° delivers a comprehensive approach to the evaluation, monitoring and sustainable maintenance of structures. The solution brings together various technical disciplines and consolidates data, analyses and expertise into a single integrated overview. This provides designers and construction managers with a solid basis for accurately assessing the condition of their infrastructure and prioritizing measures in a targeted manner.

Proactive maintenance scheduling

The focus is on close collaboration between the Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Investigation, Structural Health Monitoring, Geovisualization and Structural Assessment teams. Working together, they make it possible to carry out a comprehensive analysis of foundation soil and material conditions, structural behavior, and structural load-bearing capacity. This provides a clear overview of risks, trends and possible courses of action that can be used as a basis for proactive maintenance scheduling.

Benefits of the solution

  • Extending the service life of structures by fully utilizing their remaining load-bearing capacity and systematically maintaining existing infrastructure.
  • Clients can plan with maximum confidence thanks to reliable data from all technical disciplines, including actual remaining load-bearing capacities and targeted restoration plans.
  • Potential savings by exploiting synergistic effects to reduce the amount of coordination required.
  • Avoiding the premature demolition of structures through comprehensive, reliable data.

Uses in infrastructure design

  • Assessing the condition of existing structures: Comprehensive analysis of bridges, retaining structures or nonbuilding structures for a well-founded assessment of load-bearing capacity, foundation soil and material conditions.
  • Planning renovation and maintenance projects: Prioritization of maintenance measures by combining structural analysis, monitoring data and construction diagnostics.
  • Monitoring critical infrastructure: Continuous monitoring of structures during operation, construction or following exceptional events (such as settlement, vibration or increased load).
  • Planning conversion and upgrade projects: Support for upgrades or load increases based on reliable data from geotechnical investigations, structural investigations, and assessment of current load-bearing capacity.
  • Assessing risks and making investment decisions: Data-driven foundation for strategic decisions regarding whether to renovate, reinforce or replace.

Questions and Answers

Structure 360° is an integrated solution developed by DB Engineering & Consulting to analyze, evaluate and monitor structures. It brings Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Investigation, Structural Health Monitoring, Geovisualization and Structural Assessment together to generate an integrated overview of a structure’s condition.

A well-founded assessment using Structure 360° enables operators to plan better and manage risks at an early stage.

  • Damage can be detected earlier and assessed more effectively.
  • Maintenance budgets can be allocated more effectively.
  • The risk of service interruptions is reduced.
  • It provides the data that is increasingly required to drive strategic decisions.
    • Clients can plan with confidence
    • Reduced need for coordination and consultation
    • Sustainable allocation of budgetary and other resources
    • Targeted renovation measures

It can be used for nonbuilding structures such as bridges, tunnels, retaining walls, rail lines and viaducts as well as for civil and underground engineering structures.

Structure 360° delivers a comprehensive service for infrastructure clients.

A one stop shop: analysis and evaluation with input from all technical disciplines, resulting in clear recommendations for action.

DB Engineering & Consulting uses encrypted data transmission, secure server structures within the DB system landscape and GDPR-compliant data management.

DB Engineering & Consulting provides Structure 360° as an end-to-end solution with in-house specialist expertise ranging from Geotechnical Engineering and Structural Health Monitoringto Structural Assessment. This eliminates interface risks and means that all services are provided from a single source.

By detecting damage and changes to infrastructure at an early stage, clients can define targeted renovation measures and extend the remaining service life of their structures. Refurbishment instead of new construction – helping to ensure the sustainable use of resources.
