The challenge

A leading engineering firm was looking to utilise robotics to perform quality checks on concrete slabs. The task was being done by a surveyor with a crack measuring device after a concrete slab was poured. 

The firm wanted to find ways to improve safety and minimise physical injury or fatigue as looking for the smallest cracks on a vast area can be eye tiring.

The solution

We built an AI-powered robot that mapped the concrete slab area and scanned it for cracks as small as 0.1 millimetre.

Once the whole area was scanned, the robot generated a report for the surveyor which displayed the concrete slab map and pinpointed the exact location, width and length of detected cracks.

The outcomes

  • Quality checks were kept at the highest level.
  • All the cracks were detected and shared with surveyors.
  • The whole process could be audited at any time.
  • The same technology could be used in bridges or structures where human inspections are harder to perform.
