The company, which in its present form was founded in 2013, has operating subsidiaries in Brazil and in Canada, as well a corporate presence in the United States, in India and in Singapore.

Altogether, Franchetti has so far operated on approximately ten thousand highway and railway bridges around the world. The strongest part of the company’s offer is its technique of predictive maintenance, a methodology which transforms raw inspection data into reliable operating-life predictions and maintenance requirements for large-scale infrastructural elements in concrete, steel and in masonry.
