Subsea pipeline design begins with understanding how structures interact with the ground they rely on. ShearScan testing allows engineers to observe how pipelines behave when resting on the seabed under different conditions. By analysing variations in load, pressure and contact, this approach helps capture how the seabed responds to both full and empty pipelines in realistic scenarios. Testing different surface materials, such as steel, plastic and concrete, adds another layer of insight, supporting well‑informed design and installation choices. Each test contributes to a clearer picture of stability, performance and long‑term reliability. Where laboratory testing helps turn what lies beneath into confident engineering decisions. #GrowWithRINA

Examining how offshore soils respond to long‑term loading is a critical part of sound engineering design. In our geotechnical laboratories, advanced testing techniques make it possible to reconstruct the pressure and deformation history of clayey seabed samples. By combining controlled laboratory equipment with dedicated software, physical samples are transformed into consolidation data that supports engineering analysis and design. These insights help designers, engineers and data analysts understand long‑term soil behaviour and make informed decisions when developing offshore foundations. A scientific process that turns soil history into technical clarity. #GrowWithRINA

Understanding how the seabed has evolved over time is essential for designing reliable offshore structures. In our geotechnical laboratory, advanced testing methods allow us to reconstruct how clayey seabed soils have responded to pressure and deformation across long geological timescales. By combining controlled laboratory equipment with dedicated software, we transform physical samples into consolidation data that supports informed engineering analysis. This process provides designers, engineers and analysts with the insight needed to assess soil behaviour and design structures that interact safely and effectively with the offshore environment. #GrowWithRINA

Behind every reliable infrastructure lies careful laboratory work. In our geotechnical laboratory in Genoa, a wide range of advanced tests helps translate physical soil samples into meaningful engineering data. From consolidation and deformation analyses to soil-structure interaction studies, each test contributes to a deeper understanding of how the ground behaves under real conditions. By combining technical expertise, controlled testing environments and innovative laboratory processes, we support engineers and designers with insights that guide safe, efficient and well‑informed infrastructure development.

Renovation projects can be disruptive, but with the right tools, their impact can be anticipated and managed. Through @buildchain.eu , we developed DeepRenoX, a simulation platform that predicts how construction will affect daily life inside a building. It models noise, accessibility, and operational disruptions before work begins, allowing planners to fine-tune timelines and strategies in advance. The result is a smoother renovation process, with fewer surprises and a more comfortable experience for everyone using the space. #GrowWithRINA

Cities are no longer just built, they are continuously learning and evolving. Today, Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the way we approach urban renovation. With the support of advanced language models, it is possible to process large amounts of data. From regulations to risk assessments and turn them into actionable insights in a matter of seconds. This enables more informed decisions, smoother planning, and interventions designed to minimize disruption while maximizing long-term value. The result is not only faster processes, but smarter and more adaptive cities. Through initiatives like @buildchain.eu , we are leveraging these technologies to strengthen renovation planning and support the development of more resilient, future-ready urban environments. #GrowWithRINA

When a school is being renovated but daily life must go on, staying informed makes all the difference. This is where social compliance takes shape. Planning a renovation is not only about schedules and technical solutions: it means considering the people who experience those spaces every day. Teachers, students and families are all part of the process, and their involvement matters. Clear communication, shared updates and active listening help create trust, ease concerns and support more inclusive outcomes. Because technology should bring communities closer, not leave them behind. With the @buildchain.eu project, we are working on a digital solution that tracks the full lifecycle of buildings while fostering transparency and collaboration. We believe meaningful innovation always begins with people. #GrowWithRINA
