About this event
π 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.
π‘ Why This Matters
Thousands of bridges worldwide are aging. Yet key decisions about their maintenance or replacement are still made based on incomplete data.
Thatβs changing. Muon tomography enables engineers to see deep inside reinforced and post-tensioned concrete, revealing internal conditions with unprecedented clarity - without drilling or damage.
π What Youβll Learn
1. Real Results from In-Service Bridges in Estonia
See how GScanβs muonFLUX system was used to scan:
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 itβs 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.
