SINT Technology works for the analysis and diagnostics of materials and structures of cultural and historic buildings.
Nowadays it is really important to know the main rules related to the maintenance and conservation of cultural heritage, especially when historical and monumental buildings needs to be tested and evaluated in their state of conservation and drilling resistance.
Thanks to the realization of a special system dedicated to this purpose, the DRMS Cordless, we are able to answer those needs: during the time we acquired a considerable experience in the field of cultural heritage conservation and now we are able to solve all the problems related to the structural survey, diagnosis of materials and building components, with a strong knowledge of the practical risks of conservation and restoration.
Moreover Cultural heritage conservation requires sophisticated instruments developed to analyze in depth the state of conservation of buildings materials, and the DRMS Cordless is the answer.
Cultural Heritage Conservation: why DRMS-Cordless is a solution
SINT Technology works for the analysis and diagnostics of materials and structures of cultural and historic buildings.
Nowadays it is really important to know the main rules related to the maintenance and conservation of cultural heritage, especially when historical and monumental buildings needs to be tested and evaluated in their state of conservation and drilling resistance.
Thanks to the realization of a special system dedicated to this purpose, the DRMS Cordless, we are able to answer those needs: during the time we acquired a considerable experience in the field of cultural heritage conservation and now we are able to solve all the problems related to the structural survey, diagnosis of materials and building components, with a strong knowledge of the practical risks of conservation and restoration.
This kind of investigation is a NON-destructive one and it allows to preserve the longevity of materials, surfaces of artistic value and historical buildings.
Moreover, we know that the conservation of cultural heritage involves the diagnosis of several ranges of materials, and that the analysis of consolidation treatments is very important: the DRMS cordless is used to verify the effectiveness of such treatments, the drilling resistance of materials, micro-structural modifications and the state of surfaces of different materials.
Here an example of a test on a White Marble sample.
This is a typical DRMS Cordless test result which shows the capability of the system to evaluate the drilling resistance in the depth of the material, and to compare the results in different points. The system allows both laboratory tests and on site measurements: Cultural Heritage conservation required several on site test, and the DRMS has a very good portability since it’s quite light (approx. 5 kg.) to be transported in hard-access zones, with possibility to carry out measurements in different directions.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The DRMS works by drilling the materials with specific diamond drill bits. In case of outdoor and on-site measurements, the equipment integrates power battery to the unit for a good autonomy.
In a Cultural Heritage conservation contest, the DRMS Cordless can perform precise drilling resistance measurements, to get an accurate evaluation of the materials force and toughness.
Example of some tests made in Florence at the English cemetery to evaluate the state of conservation of materials. In this way it’s possible to decide if the quality of the material is good or not, and if the material has to be consolidated with different treatments, that can be evaluated with the DRMS again.
