AI-Assisted Digital Inspection of Critical Civil Infrastructure
FY 2025-26 · 2025-06-01
Summary
The project focuses on the condition assessment and performance evaluation of existing civil infrastructure using advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) methods powered by AI-driven data analysis. To achieve this, FPrimeC will develop a labeled and validated inventory of various types of damage in civil infrastructure. This inventory will be used to train a machine learning model capable of automatically detecting different types of anomalies (e.g., cracks, voids, delamination, and corrosion signatures). Once the development is completed, the trained model will be applied to evaluate the current condition of structures, predict the remaining service life, and anticipate potential failures by integrating a digital twin technology.

Description (French)
Le projet se concentre sur l’évaluation de l’état et des performances des infrastructures civiles existantes à l’aide de méthodes avancées de contrôle non destructif (CND) basées sur l’analyse de données alimentées par l’IA. Pour ce faire, FPrimeC développera un inventaire étiqueté et validé des différents types de dommages subis par les infrastructures civiles. Cet inventaire sera utilisé pour former un modèle d’apprentissage automatique capable de détecter automatiquement différents types d’anomalies (par exemple, fissures, vides, délamination et traces de corrosion). Une fois le développement terminé, le modèle formé sera appliqué pour évaluer l’état actuel des structures, prédire leur durée de vie restante et anticiper les défaillances potentielles en intégrant une technologie de jumeau numérique.
