LABDIA
Laboratorio di Diagnostica non distruttiva
Department of Architecture and Design

Since 1993, work at the Laboratory has provided technical and technological basis to understand the architectural and environmental heritage.
To this end, nondestructive testing techniques (infrared thermography, remote visual inspection and resistograph testing) are used to analyze the state of preservation and detect “flaws” .

The Laboratory:

• conducts Research and testing in the area of nondestructive diagnostics, with particular attention to thermographic applications;
• supports the University's teaching activities;
• holds training courses to promote the use of nondestructive testing techniques by public and private institutions, agencies and organizations;
• develops applications for nondestructive techniques through its on-site testing activities, which also include third-party testing.

The Laboratory implements a quality management system for all of its work.

The Laboratory is open by appointment to students and other users, including those from outside the Politecnico, and maintains hardcopy and computerized archives.
