Idvia

What Idvia does

Idvia (legal entity IDVIA 2020 HORIZONTE 2020, S.L.) is a Valencia, Spain-based civil engineering firm founded in 2009 that provides Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) services for bridges. Its core technology combines a Digital Twin finite element methodology—continuously updated from on-structure sensor data—with advanced mathematical and probabilistic algorithms to identify, locate, quantify, and predict the evolution of bridge damage, including pathologies such as early-stage carbonation that are not visible to routine inspection. The product suite is delivered as professional services in two formats: Continuous Real-Time Diagnostic for ongoing monitoring and Discrete Diagnostic for point-in-time assessments, complemented by a multicriteria Bridge Ranking/Hierarchisation method that allows concessionaires to prioritize maintenance across an entire bridge network. Idvia serves bridge managers, road concessionaires, and public infrastructure owners, with a disclosed customer base spanning Chile (MOP, Dirección de Vialidad, ISA-Intervial, Globalvía, Acega, Besalco, Belfi), Portugal (Brisa via EIC Procurers Day), and Spain.

Idvia monetizes through project-based professional services engagements sold via direct enterprise sales to infrastructure operators and public agencies, supplemented by non-dilutive R&D funding from the European Innovation Council, Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICIU/AEI), and EU NextGenerationEU/PRTR grants. The company has extended its probabilistic and image-processing capabilities into two adjacent verticals via EU-funded research projects: HEL OR (drone-based multispectral frost-damage detection in woody crops using SLIC ML and neural networks) and CE-COMMERCE (citrus marketing optimization via digital-image freshness analysis and dynamic pricing). Distribution relies on direct B2B engagement through EIC Corporate Days, EIC Procurers Days, and industry conferences (e.g., IC2), supported by technical content marketing, social channels, and published research. There is no evidence of a software/SaaS offering, API, or self-serve product; all services appear to be delivered as bespoke engineering engagements.

Core offering

Idvia provides Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) diagnostic services for bridges, combining Digital Twin methodology with advanced mathematical and probabilistic algorithms to identify, locate, quantify and predict damage evolution. Core service offerings include continuous real-time diagnostics for ongoing structural monitoring and discrete diagnostics for point-in-time assessments, complemented by a bridge hierarchisation method that prioritises maintenance across bridge networks.

Product overview

Idvia offers a suite of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) services for bridges, centered on its innovative SHM technology and Digital Twin platform. The core offering consists of Continuous Real-Time Diagnostic and Discrete Diagnostic services, supported by Advanced Structural Diagnosis capabilities that simulate demanding scenarios to identify critical structural sections. The company's flagship technology creates Digital Twins of bridges—advanced numerical models continuously updated from sensor data. Additionally, Idvia has developed a Bridge Ranking/Hierarchisation Method using mathematical multicriteria analysis for maintenance prioritization. Beyond civil infrastructure, Idvia extends its expertise to agriculture through the HEL OR Project (SmartAgro) for frost damage detection in crops, and the CE-COMMERCE platform for citrus marketing optimization.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) Services International structural health diagnostic services for bridges using continuous real-time monitoring and discrete diagnostic approaches, enabling identification, quantification and prediction of bridge damage evolution. Targeted at bridge managers and infrastructure owners.
• Continuous Real-Time Diagnostic Service for continuous, real-time diagnosis of structural health of a bridge, using an innovative methodology that identifies, locates and quantifies damage and predicts how damage will evolve and influence the structure globally, enabling a 'predict and prevent' maintenance strategy.
• Discrete Diagnostic Service for the diagnosis of a bridge at a specific moment in time when continuous monitoring is not justified, focusing on knowing current and expected future behaviour of the bridge.
• Digital Twin of Bridges Advanced finite element numerical model that is a virtual replication of the physical bridge structure, with bidirectional connection to the physical counterpart and continuously updated with operational and sensor data to represent real-time structural behaviour throughout the bridge's service life.
• Bridge Ranking/Hierarchisation Method Mathematical modelling and multicriteria analysis method for classifying bridges requiring priority maintenance treatment, combining strategic, structural and environmental parameters to optimise maintenance investments across a bridge network.
• Advanced Structural Diagnosis Simulation-based diagnostic service that models highly demanding scenarios to identify failure mechanisms and critical sections of bridge structures under various load conditions, supporting optimal reinforcement design.
