Stéphan Ferrero, engineer and team leader for the center of excellence in port and coastal engineering. At Norda Stelo, the port and coastal team has been recognized in the field for over 40 years. Port and coastal engineering services are based on the skills of a team of great experience and professional quality. Knowing the state of assets is an issue that always comes up for our customers. Structural inspection program: the urgent need of our customers is to extend the life of their structures. How will an intervention extend its lifespan, and what will be the impact on its sustainability if the repair work is delayed due to a lack of liquidity? This is critical information that is rarely well documented. Most of the time, we work with ports in a context of asset maintenance, and the structures that require the most urgent interventions are prioritized. However, it would often be possible to extend the lifespan of certain assets upstream, through preventive interventions. Demonstrating the value of one investment versus another is not always supported by an overview of the challenges of the port.
