The measurement services are carried out not only in our Sopemea laboratories but also all over the world thanks to our teams and equipment adapted to all situations: on land, air or sea.
Each year, we carry out more than 40 specific instrumentation plans that can integrate up to 600 sensors over a period of two months.
Our expertise is recognised in experimental modal analysis on a complete aircraft and the mastery of techniques on all sizes and all types of industrial equipment.
A range of services
applicable beyond equipment

Our measurement services are aimed at infrastructure designers, system suppliers and equipment manufacturers:
- Experimental modal analysis on aircraft (GVT-ground vibration tests), trains or any industrial equipment (global methods or appropriate sine method), with around 600 accelerometric measurement channels. We are COFRAC and UKAS accredited.
- Transfer function measurement for lightning and strong field threats on aircraft
- Accelerometric measurements in flight
- Operational distortions
- Vibration comfort measurement campaigns on trains, ships, vehicles, physiological vibration measurements
- Electromagnetic tests on site using our mobile reverberation chambers
- Health measures to assess the risks associated with electromagnetic fields (decree 2002-775)
- Road or track testing
- Mechanical expertise after damage or breakage of tested equipment
- Non-contact vibration measurements
- Measurements in hydroelectric power station
- On-site characterisation of RF systems
- Fatigue calculation and prediction of the service life of an equipment, spectrum transfer. Trial customisation. For example, we measure real vibration levels on site and then we build a test program adapted to our vibration means
- Registration of FEM models
- Shock comparison
- Acoustic measurements on customer sites or in our laboratories.
- Stress measurements with conventional gauge-type methods but also non-contact 3D measurements thanks to stereo-correlation (displacement field, stress field)
