Robotic reality capture
Drones, laser scanning, computer vision and infrared thermography for inspecting and monitoring buildings and bridges.
Industry
In 2024 I co-founded BuiltScan Technologies to turn lab research into market-ready tools for inspecting infrastructure.
Visit builtscan.comOne pipeline across the whole life of a building or bridge, replacing slow manual inspection with automated, digital methods.
Drones, laser scanning, computer vision and infrared thermography for inspecting and monitoring buildings and bridges.

AI that detects, outlines and measures damage such as cracks, spalling and corrosion in inspection images, in place of slow, subjective manual assessment.
BIM and digital twins that tie each image and measurement to the right part of the asset, through its whole life.
Three web and cloud tools, one for each step of the pipeline.

Upload a 3D model of the structure and the planner generates the camera viewpoints and inspection route, ready to export for the flight.
Robotic inspection at BuiltScan
Detects and outlines defects in inspection images, records each one's type and severity, and exports the results as reports and data.
AI-powered data analysis at BuiltScan
Keeps every inspection layer, such as visual and thermal imagery and point clouds, in one 3D model in the browser, with annotation, measurement and reporting.
