The system

One scanner. Two instruments. Every measurement in place.

The 3D tracker and the GPR are built to work as one unit. Position and subsurface data are captured together — which is what makes fully automated analysis possible.

Birdsview scanner assembly: 3D tracker and ground penetrating radar

Tracker and radar, clamped into one handheld unit

Knows exactly where every trace was taken

01 — 3D tracker

Knows exactly where every trace was taken

Continuous millimetre-level tracking with lidar and camera builds a geo-referenced model of the surface as you scan — no grids, chalk lines or manual logging.

Looks through the concrete

02 — Ground penetrating radar

Looks through the concrete

High-frequency radar resolves rebar layers, diameter, cover and structure deep into the concrete, from a single pass over the surface.

The challenge

Four reasons concrete projects fail.

Retrofit and maintenance projects can run 3× over budget — largely because of poor upfront inspection. In a retrofit project, you often start blind.

01

No drawings

As-built documentation is missing or outdated for most older structures.

02

Subjective inspections

Visual assessments say nothing about rebar or the inside of the concrete.

03

Slow tools

Current NDT methods take weeks for what should take hours, and give little insight.

04

Destructive testing

Core drilling damages the structure and still only gives point data.

3×

over budget

Fat-tail risk on concrete retrofit and maintenance projects. Birdsview gives you full visibility, so you plan right, avoid surprises and stay on budget.

Ageing concrete infrastructure

The solution

Scan. Analyse. Reveal.

See inside concrete without breaking it — powered by sensor fusion and Full Waveform Inversion, technology carried over from seismic imaging in oil and gas.

Scan

01

Scan

  • Sensor fusion combining GPR radar, lidar and camera
  • Captures data with millimetre precision across large areas
  • The only company globally combining this for concrete
Analyse

02

Analyse

  • AI-powered analysis combines the signals using Full Waveform Inversion
  • Automatically detects rebar, diameter and cover with millimetre accuracy
  • Minutes to hours instead of weeks of manual interpretation
Reveal

03

Reveal

  • Complete digital 3D model of the structure, outside and inside
  • Data accessible anywhere, anytime
  • Shareable with everyone around the project

Applications

Engineered for structural challenges.

From tender to maintenance plan — wherever a decision depends on what is inside the concrete.

Project planning

  • Improve tender accuracy
  • Maximise reuse potential
  • Reduce execution risk

Retrofitting projects

  • Assess structural load capacity
  • Cut uncertainty and risk
  • Save time and cost

Maintenance projects

  • Smarter repairs
  • Safeguard structural integrity
  • Plan long-term maintenance

Quality assurance

  • Verify rebar placement and concrete cover in new construction

Rebar mapping

  • Locate rebar position, depth, diameter and spacing across entire structures

Cutting and coring

  • Avoid hits and hazards
  • Ensure worker safety
  • Prevent costly mistakes
Birdsview applications

Use it on the structures that cannot fail.

  • Bridges
  • Buildings
  • Power stations
  • Parking garages
  • Ports and quays
  • Airports
  • Tunnels
  • Industrial facilities

Get started

Bring the scanner to your next structure.

We run surveys with asset owners, consultants and contractors on projects in nine countries. Tell us about the structure and we will show you what the data looks like.
