Program Summary
The technology comprises of high-definition visual, IR, and SF-GPR sensors mounted to a moving vehicle that can pass over/under/near target surfaces. Our systems collect data to be processed, analyzed, and represented and visual deficiency maps which clearly show the location and classification of findings, as well as written reports detailing the findings and potential recommendations.

Detailed Description of Program
Why is it innovative?
Visual sensors are innovative in that they capture very high resolution, enabling detection of hairline cracks if requested.
The infrared sensors, software, and methodology is innovative also due to the use of high-end camera types, but predominantly because of a proprietary temperature differential detection function built into the analysis software which aids analysts in making analysis judgements.
The GPR antenna array and analysis software is innovative in that wide swaths of multi-frequency data are collected and used to build “3D” radargrams, or essentially enable analysts to detect and quantify anomalous findings in a way that singular antenna arrays cannot support.
What would a field demonstration entail?
Ideally, the client would help support a pilot project by paying only for mobilization costs. NEXCO would dispatch 2 technicians to a site, collect the data with no or minimal disruption to the traveling public, and produce a sample report.
