“A truly cutting-edge technology that will transform the industry”: that’s how one judge described the AI-enabled muon tomography non-destructive testing system developed by GScan, National Highways and AtkinsRéalis.
Until now, there was no technology in the market able to assess internal damage and differentiate safe bridges from those in critical condition. Because of this, 50% of bridges are decommissioned unnecessarily, which wastes significant amounts of money and concrete.
What the judges said
“This is a critically useful product that can make a huge difference. It’s interesting to see how muon tomography could potentially scale in application and adoption and revolutionise the monitoring and maintenance of bridges while growing across other asset classes.”
