A situação atual do LNEC, quer do ponto de vista dos sistemas de informação existentes quer do contexto externo, exige uma contínua melhoria dos procedimentos de gestão internos bem como da qualidade da informação que está na base da tomada de decisão. A Operação BI-LNEC pretende completar a atividade desenvolvida anteriormente e desenvolver um sistema de apoio à decisão para o LNEC. Desta forma, os diferentes processos de negócio serão analisados de forma a guiar o desenvolvimento dos quadro...

The present Replicability and Transferability Plan aims at contributing to the sustainability of LIFE Impetus project, by defining a strategy for the valorisation of the expected results, catalysing the production of national and Europe wide relevant results and promoting the engagement of potential end users.

The growing concerns about the climate change and the negative environmental impacts of heating and cooling systems operated by fossil fuels, have led the technical and the scientific communities to find out more environmentally and sustainable energy alternatives, such is the case of shallow geothermal sources. Shallow geothermal systems use the ground as a heat reservoir, transferring thermal energy from the ground to a building, or vice-versa, with the help of a heat pump, to provide warm...

This paper is built on an innovative experience of the Intermunicipal Community of the Algarve Region (Regional Transport Authority), scientifically supported by the LNEC in Portugal, that comprised the development of the designated "Action Plans for Sustainable Mobility" (PAMUS) for the region, a network of sixteen cities. Following the Regional Operation Program, these plans were "to support the transition for a low carbon economy in all sectors" and, also, the investment priority "Promoti...

O GEORADAR ou radar de prospeção é uma técnica geofísica expedita para a deteção de estruturas enterradas a pequena profundidade. Esta técnica baseia-se na propagação de ondas eletromagnéticas em meios contínuos, tendo a vantagem de consistir numa técnica de prospeção indireta e não destrutiva. As aplicações e os alvos detetáveis são vastos e dependem da frequência da energia emitida e da gama de penetração. Exemplos de infraestruturas que podem ser detetadas são: condutas, tubagens diver...

Overall, the project objectives, expected results and work plan are still viable and feasible until 30Jun’19, the foreseen end date of the project

This document is the Monitoring Framework of the LIFE Impetus project, focusing on the link with PAStool. Its purpose is to establish the basis for the project’s experimental work performed in the two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) - Beirolas and Faro Noroeste WWTPs - and in the Ria Formosa lagoon. The experimental work includes the performance assessment of the WWTPs and the monitoring of pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in wastewater and clams.

This deliverable is related to task 8.2 “Innovative approaches for representing variability and unsteadiness in flume facilities”. The objectives of the task were to develop and test new protocols for reproducing the variability and unsteadiness associated with changes in the frequency and magnitude of extreme events driven by climate change. The strategy was to model experimentally the likely variations in wave and current forcing that will result from climate change. For ice/structure inter...

Reliable prediction of wave run-up/overtopping and structure damage is a key task in the design and safety assessment of coastal and harbor structures. Run-up/overtopping and damage must be below acceptable limits, both in extreme and in normal operating conditions, to guarantee the stability of the structure and the safety of people and assets on and behind the structure. The mean-sea-level rise caused by climate change and its effects on wave climate may increase the number and intensity of...

The HYDRALAB+ project is aimed at strengthening the coherence of experimental hydraulic and hydrodynamic research undertaken across its partner organisations. This report is D10.2 of the HYDRALAB+ project, entitled “Critical Review”. It is one of the outputs of Work Package 10 – JRA3: Facilitating the Re-use and Exchange of Experimental Data. It examines the state of the art in a number of areas relating to HYDRALAB+ with particular attention given to: · data standards and protocols currently...

This report is part of HYDRALAB+ Work Package 10, which seeks to strengthen the coherence of experimental hydraulic and hydrodynamic research undertaken by the HYDRALAB+ partner organisations. It outlines the work carried out by Samui Design & Management Ltd, supported by HR Wallingford, in relation to the development of a data repository structure that can be adopted by participants of the HYDRALAB+ project.

The HYDRALAB+ project is aimed at strengthening the coherence of experimental hydraulic and hydrodynamic research undertaken across its partner organisations. This report is D10.3 of the HYDRALAB+ project, entitled ‘Data Standards Report’. It is one of the outputs of Work Package 10 – ‘JRA3: Facilitating the Re-use and Exchange of Experimental Data’ and is tasked with examining available data standards and licenses appropriate to the HYDRALAB+ domain and making recommendations for the uptake ...

Results from two ERT performed on an empty small-scale pilot plant are presented illustrating the electrical current pathways in the presence of a conductive layer electrically insulated and partially insulated from the surrounding environment by a geomembrane. An ERT acquired on an operating cell of a real landfill where electrical connection is present between the inner medium (leachate, waste and covering soil) and the outside environment is also presented. Both results draw attention to t...

Crosshole seismic tomography is a widespread geophysical method to estimate the elastic properties of materials in the crosshole section, for a variety of applications, including engineering site characterisation and foundation treatment evaluation. This method was applied to Alto Ceira II dam in three phases: Phases 1 and 2 – before and after rock mass foundation treatment, and Phase 3 – after the reservoir first filling. The resulting time-lapse seismic tomographies allowed assessing the s...

O relatório enquadra-se no Subprojeto A – Implementação do Modelo de Autoavaliação CAF (Common Assessment Framework) na Administração Pública, do Projeto GO-LNEC – Capacitação para a Melhoria da Qualidade na Gestão Operacional do LNEC, e tem como principal objetivo proceder à apresentação do Plano de Melhorias resultante do processo de autoavaliação desenvolvido em 2018.

A Operação, também designada projeto, GO-LNEC - Capacitação para a Melhoria da Qualidade na Gestão Operacional do LNEC visa capacitar o Laboratório com modelos organizativos e de gestão do negócio, racionalizados, ágeis, automatizados, flexíveis, uniformes, transparentes e eficientes. O projeto divide-se em dois subprojetos: ● Subprojeto A – Implementação do Modelo de Autoavaliação CAF (Common Assessment Framework) na Administração Pública; ● Subprojeto B – Capacitação para a Melhoria Opera...

Descrevem-se as atividades desenvolvidas pelo LNEC no âmbito do acompanhamento dos trabalhos de desativação dos pipelines do Cabrito e da Cova das Cinzas.

This report summarises the initial activities developed in action B5 and addresses the pilot-scale demonstration of the chemically enhanced treatment for controlling the pharmaceutical compounds targeted in LIFE IMPETUS, particularly the laboratory tests and the modelling for assisting the pilots’ demonstration (which is part of the contingency plan designed for catching up the delay in the effective start-up of the pilot demonstration) and the first pilot demonstration activities in prototypes.

This report constitutes the third deliverable of actions B3 and B4, and aims at fulfilling the following objectives: i) to assess the performance of the new adsorbents, developed and characterised in action B3, and of a short-list of commercial powdered activated carbons (PACs), also characterised in action B3, towards the adsorption of a set of target pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) tested in actions B3 and B4; and ii) to select the coagulants and PACs for pilot testing in action B5.
