DIADES’ task
DIADES carried out the periodical detailed inspection of:
- The tunnel tube in its entirety,
- The zones of influence,
- The upstream and downstream tunnel entrances.
The periodical detailed inspection carried out by DIADES using a type 1B hydraulic lift revealed certain defects (cracking, defects in appearance, flaking, and so on) and enabled a routine and specialist maintenance program, in keeping with the Conseil Général de l’Yonne’s asset management policy, to be proposed.
