Design and development of a novel high-speed wireless handheld instrument for non-destructive testing of_x000d_ concrete structures-Electronics Phase
EF 2020-21
Résumé
FPrimeC Solutions Inc. is a technology company in Oshawa, Canada, which develops innovative testing
solutions for cost-effective and reliable assessment of civil infrastructure facilities. In the proposed
collaborative project, FPrimeC and Centennial College's Wearable, Interactive and Mobile Technologies
Access Centre in Health (WIMTACH) would like to design and develop a novel wireless NDT instrument
which will evaluate and analyze the health and safety of various concrete structures such as bridge, dam, etc.
cost effectively and 10 times quicker than commercially available NDTs. Moreover, the proposed device will
be able to store the data in a cloud providing quicker and safer remote access for engineers to analyze the
testing data. WIMTACH will facilitate this project by bringing on-board their experts in product design
(electromechanical design). The proposed project will strengthen Centennial College's expertise in
electromechanical design and enhance the interaction and interdisciplinary partnership between college staff,
researchers, faculties, students, and industry. Furthermore, this multidisciplinary collaboration will allow
FPrimeC to address its technical gap and keep its position as one of the technology developers for the
inspection of concrete structures in the global market.
