Problem
Critical infrastructure, such as bridges and tunnels, is susceptible to internal structural issues like corrosion that are difficult to detect using traditional methods. Current inspection techniques often require destructive testing or are limited in their ability to assess deep subsurface conditions, leading to potentially unsafe conditions and costly reactive repairs.
Solution
GScan utilizes muon tomography, a non-destructive testing method, to identify structural weaknesses and material changes within critical infrastructure up to 10 meters deep. By analyzing naturally occurring muon radiation, the technology creates high-resolution images that reveal internal corrosion, voids, and other defects. This enables asset owners to proactively monitor the health of their infrastructure, make data-driven maintenance decisions, and optimize reconstruction efforts. The technology provides detailed insights, down to 1mm resolution, without disrupting operations or compromising the integrity of the structure.
Target Audience
GScan's primary customers are infrastructure owners and operators in sectors such as transportation (bridges, tunnels), energy (nuclear, oil & gas), and real estate, as well as government agencies responsible for public safety and infrastructure maintenance.
