GScan has successfully concluded an 18-month collaborative project with the Estonian Transport Administration and the Government Office's Public Sector Innovation Fund. The initiative evaluated how muon tomography—a non-destructive imaging technique utilising natural cosmic particles—can be used to scan the interior of complex concrete and steel bridges to optimise maintenance and safely extend their service life. The Challenge of Hidden Structural Defects Traditional bridge

GScan has officially launched its series A funding round after hitting several major milestones.

19. Mai 2026 – TALLINN, ESTLAND / MÜNCHEN, DEUTSCHLAND – Das Deep-Tech-Pionierunternehmen GScan hat offiziell seine strategische Expansion in den deutschsprachigen Markt bekannt gegeben. Ziel ist es, die innovative Myonen-Fluss-Tomographie (MFT) in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz einzuführen und Anwender bei der Lösung der drängenden Herausforderungen zum Erhalt der kritischen Infrastruktur der Länder zu unterstützen. Die bahnbrechende Technologie bietet den Baulastt

Post-tensioned concrete bridge inspection is a high-stakes challenge. The tendons are the primary load-carrying elements of the bridge, encased in grout-filled ducts deep within the concrete, making them notoriously difficult to inspect. Over decades, poor initial workmanship or water ingress can lead to hidden voids and accelerated corrosion, creating conditions for sudden structural failure without visible warning. As global infrastructure ages, the ability to accurately as

This year, the global scientific and technological community marks the 70th anniversary of the first application of Muon Tomography (MT). The journey began on July 1, 1955, marking the start of a revolution that turned naturally occurring cosmic particles into powerful, non-destructive imaging tools. 1955: The Birth of a New Science The concept of using cosmic rays to evaluate matter began two decades after the muon's discovery. The foundation of muon tomography was laid in

Constructed in 1981, Sõpruse sild (Friendship bridge) is the longest publicly accessible bridge in Estonia, measuring 488.2m in total length. It is an extremely important transport corridor, connecting two parts of the city of Tartu. Renovation work is planned to take place until early 2027 to strengthen the bridge and extend its lifetime. The contractors AS TREF and AS TREF Nord identified that the post-tensioning strands of the main girders of 33m spans were in poor con

Llanrhystud Bridge is set to make history as the first operational bridge in the UK to be evaluated using cutting-edge Muon Tomography technology. This groundbreaking initiative will commence on October 6th, 2025, following the technology’s proven success in National Highways’ Moonshot project. The deployment marks a significant advancement in non-destructive structural assessment. Muon Tomography leverages naturally occurring subatomic particles (muons) to generate highly de

GScan is thrilled to be announced as the winner in the Innovation in Bridge Inspection category at the prestigious New Civil Engineer (NCE) Bridge Awards. The award recognizes GScan's revolutionary application of high-resolution muon tomography and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the structural assessment of post-tensioned bridges, a core component of the National Highways Structures Moonshot Programme, led by AtkinsRéalis and Jacobs. The winning project showcased a truly t
