BINDT launches NDT working group for civil engineering

The initiative arose as an action from the Workshop on NDT, CM and SHM Requirements for Civil Structures, which was held in 2022. The workshop was organised jointly by BINDT, the UK Research Centre for Non-Destructive Evaluation (RCNDE), Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) and the Infrastructure Industry Innovation Partnership (i3P).

It brought together stakeholders such as regulators, insurers, designers, constructors and operators with the NDT community to: 

• Establish the requirements for improved NDT, condition monitoring (CM) and structural health monitoring (SHM) solutions for civil structures manufactured from metal, concrete and masonry;
• Help the NDT/CM/SHM community understand the inspection problems faced by the civil engineering sector; and
• Consider the application of emerging inspection tools and technologies.

The new Civil Engineering NDT Working Group is inviting interested organisations from the civil engineering community to participate. For further information and to express an interest in participating in the work of the group, contact Josh Elliott ([email protected]) or Eleanor Flower ([email protected]).
