GScan invites you to their event

Episode 004: Transforming Bridge Inspections with Muon Tomography (choose from 2 timeslots for US/Europe/Asia πŸ‘‡)

About this event

πŸš€ Join us to explore how muon tomography, powered by AI and cosmic-ray technology, is delivering a step change in infrastructure diagnostics, with real case studies, live data, and insights into global deployment.


πŸ’‘ Why This Matters

Thousands of bridges worldwide are aging. Yet key decisions about their maintenance or replacement are still made based on incomplete data.

That’s changing. Muon tomography enables engineers to see deep inside reinforced and post-tensioned concrete, revealing internal conditions with unprecedented clarity - without drilling or damage.

πŸ” What You’ll Learn

1. Real Results from In-Service Bridges in Estonia

See how GScan’s muonFLUX system was used to scan:

  • A 50-year-old reinforced concrete bridge on the E67 Via Baltica, one of Europe’s busiest freight corridors
  • A post-tensioned bridge with dense internal structure
  • A pedestrian bridge with complex geometries

You'll get a look at the raw data, cloud-based analysis tools, and learn how muon scanning is reducing uncertainty and enabling better decision-making, even under live traffic conditions.

2. Scaling Muon Tomography Across the Globe

Andreas Schwarz, Head of Repair & Preservation at VSL International, will share insights from real-world deployments of muon tomography across Europe and the Middle East, including how it’s being integrated into large-scale bridge inspection programs. Andreas will also discuss how this technology supports data-driven asset strategies, helping engineers extend service life and prioritize interventions based on quantifiable internal conditions, not assumptions.
