Pandoscope® : an unique technology for railways in
Sol Solution has developed the Pandoscope®: a unique characterization system based on a mechanical Panda® test that is followed by a geo-endoscopy test. Thanks to the development of its dedicated software, PandaVision®, Sol Solution can give on-site data on the characteristics found.
Sol Solution has for many years specialized in road layer characterization. The maintenance challenges of such roads involve the availability of reliable research center data on the thickness and condition of the various layers present.
Sol Solution relies on the use of two geophysical and geotechnical methods. The non-destructive geophysical tests make continuous auscultation of the various works being examined. For superficial structures, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is still the method most used. This system registers up to 20 measures per meter at 80 km/hour. It allows quick and continuous data collection across the length of the track or works without hindering operations.
These geophysical data are collected and confirmed using geotechnical soundings in which the Pandoscope® in particular makes it possible to gather diagnostics on specific points, characteristics, mechanical resistance of layers, granulometry, humidity and resistance to penetration.
The final analysis brings together the continuous data from the ground-penetrating radar alongside soundings data. The use of integrated software means the infrastructure manager can simultaneously watch data on a video of the track, an IGN or geological card, while all other data is presented in map or table form.
This method offers unique economic, organizational, and technical advantages: fine characterization and ease of implementation.
About: Sol solution is an international geotechnical engineering consultancy. In addition to its many areas of expertise, its reputation has been built on the development of the Panda® and a whole range of equipment. Sol Solution designs and markets innovative solutions in the field of compaction control, earthworks, soil investigation, reinforcement and low-trauma high-performance diagnostics. Today, the company has more than 80 employees, an integrated R&D department and an analysis laboratory, and completes its range of equipment with data management and processing tools incorporating functionalities unequalled in the geotechnical market.
