National Highways Structures Moonshot

10:50 - 11:15

National Highways’ Structures Moonshot is an R&D project looking at NDT for concrete bridges with hidden critical elements. The project includes:

  • Review of current generation forms of NDT and forensic investigation of their effectiveness.
  • Investment in low-TRL technologies to develop new concepts to a point where live trials can be conducted.
  • Deployment of new NDT technologies on deteriorated in-service structures to review effectiveness.
