Birdsview was founded by Olav Skogen and Simen Husøy, two engineering students at Norwegian University of Science and Technology. They identified a problem without a clear solution: wooden utility poles in the power grid were rotting from the inside, invisible to inspectors until they failed. Together, they built a sensor-based detection system that solved this problem and has been used by one of Norway’s largest grid operators.

As the expertise of Birdsview’s team expanded, we saw a familiar pattern emerge in concrete — the world’s second most used material and the backbone of every major structure ever built. The construction industry still relied on inspection methods that were slow, destructive, or unreliable.

Finally, in 2025, we launched our first concrete product and developed a technology platform powered by Full Waveform Inversion, ready-made sensors, and AI-driven analysis.
