Tender description

National Highways is aiming to make a step change in the use of technology for managing its structures assets. The underlying ambition of this initiative (known as 'Structures Moonshot') is to reduce human intervention on site, facilitate automated inspections/remote monitoring and decision making supported by artificial intelligence and machine learning. Initially, the focus for this work will be post-tensioned concrete structures, which are recognised as requiring a greater level of scrutiny than most other structure types. The initial objective in relation to post-tensioned concrete structures is to facilitate the use of emerging technologies (used remotely where possible) to provide reliable data on the condition of post-tensioned tendons enabling informed decisions and appropriate interventions at the optimum time.
