Construction Type:Tunnel
Country:Belgium

Sanacon, a leader in concrete durability and service life design, used DIMCOST, an advanced software platform, to conduct a detailed service life analysis for the tunnel segments of a major infrastructure project. By utilizing DIMCOST’s powerful tools, which focus on estimating the remaining service life of concrete structures, Sanacon ensured that the tunnel segments would achieve a minimum service life of 100 years. DIMCOST’s capabilities, which account for critical factors such as carbonation and chloride ingress, enabled Sanacon to develop a robust design that guarantees the tunnel’s long-term durability and structural integrity.
