Concrete Inspection: GPR, Ultrasound & AI Explained

In this episode of Concretely, Johannes Lohner speaks with Dr. Koichi Oba, CEO of Proceq, about modern concrete inspection and the future of non-destructive testing.They discuss key technologies such as ground penetrating radar (GPR), ultrasonic testing, impact echo, and eddy current, and how these methods are combined to assess the condition of concrete structures. The conversation also covers AI-driven crack detection, automated reporting, cloud-based data platforms, and the integration of inspection data into BIM and digital workflows.A major focus is on the growing challenge of aging infrastructure, the shortage of experienced inspectors, and how automation, robotics, and better data interpretation can improve efficiency at scale.For more information visit: www.concrete-ly.com
