Study of loaded versus unloaded measurements in railway track inspection

This paper studies the difference between loaded and unloaded measurements in railway track inspection, using experimental and numerical methods. After that, a case study on the unloaded measurement method, using Geo-data collected by Fugro’s RILA technology, is presented, wherein a section of track was measured every month.

Preparing for a Wind Revolution: Integrated Site Characterization Reduces Project Risk

The Atlantic OCS is the starting point for offshore wind-based energy projects in the U.S and Fugro is adapting proven integrated site characterization services to the specific needs of the clients.

Adaptive source and plume characterization for efficient model development under heterogeneous site conditions

The Voigtländer camera production site in Braunschweig was operated until 1972. The facility’s use of chlorinated solvents for grease removal led to significant soil and groundwater contamination.
