Automated Pollution Inspection Scanning System for Soil using a robotic vehicle (POLLINS)
Start date: Nov 15, 2013, End date: Nov 14, 2016,
"Currently, the detection of soil pollution is done by manual surveys which are inefficient, unreliable, time consuming and very expensive. The need of a better and low-cost technical approach, that would be able to assess contaminated areas before programing the required remediation actions, has become more intense due to public awareness for the environment.This project aims to develop a semi-au ...

Vortex Robot for Rapid Low Cost Scanning and Improved Non-Destructive Testing of Large Concrete Structures (VORTEXSCAN)
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
Large public infrastructure facilities around the world like dams, cooling towers and bridges use cement as the main building material. Although made from a durable material many of these large assets have begun to age and are in need of periodic inspection to ensure their integrity. Current inspection routine involves setting up scaffolds that have to be moved around for personnel to reach to the ...

High Temperature Pipe Structural Health Monitoring System utilising Phased Array probes on TOFD configuration (HOTPHASEDARRAY)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Uncertainties in the calculation of the lifetime of superheated steam pipes in power plants that contain a minor defect create situations with potentially catastrophic results, typically costing €120 million per event. Superheated steam pipes are periodically inspected and depending on their defects sizes they may be replaced after a lifetime assessment has been performed. Common errors in defect ...
