EWAS
The mission of the eWAS project is to stimulate “degradation protection and prevention policies” for different study contexts, observed and investigated for their morphological and functional characteristics. Environmental Safety and Structural Safety are two essential requirements for all settlements and historic buildings of cultural interest, whose protection and safeguarding must be guaranteed. eWAS intends to fill this need, by creating an innovative platform for monitoring the cultural heritage.
The creation of a continuous, multi-sensorial and non-invasive monitoring system on physical structures, monuments and their surrounding areas would thereforeenable a rapid diagnostic activity that can prevent critical situations; such a system is a very important tool for the creation of a ‘Smart’ environment, able to tackle and counter different types of environmental risks.
An important objective of the project is the involvement of different territorial stakeholders, belonging to administrations, civil protection, managers of historical buildings, etc.
