CORRSENS

For owners of ageing and critical structures

Engineered to endure.

You need your infrastructure to stay safe and in service for decades more. We find what is wearing it out, fix the cause, and protect it so the repair lasts.

Sound familiar?

Most structures do not fail suddenly. They wear out quietly.

If any of these describes a structure you look after, this is the job CORRSENS was built for.

  • The crack you patched is back.

    Patching covers the damage. The rust underneath keeps working.

  • Rust stains, and no one can say how bad it is.

    What shows on the surface is a small part of what is happening inside the concrete.

  • A repair budget, and twenty things asking for it.

    Without a ranked list, the most visible problem gets fixed first, not the most serious one.

  • An inspection that means months of scaffolding.

    Closed lanes and a long wait for the report make everyone put it off for another year.

The job

You are not buying an inspection. You are keeping a structure in service.

  1. 01

    Know what is really wrong

    Every member scanned, scored and mapped, so you see the cause and not just the stain.

  2. 02

    Fix the right thing first

    A ranked repair plan with a bill of quantities you can put straight into a tender.

  3. 03

    Make the repair last

    Protection for the steel inside the concrete, so you do not pay for the same repair twice.

And a decision you can defend. Every recommendation traces back to a measured defect on the model, so you can show your chief engineer, your board or an auditor exactly why.

Why patching is not enough

Patching hides the damage. We stop it.

A patch is the quick answer when there is no time or money for a full investigation. It works on the surface while the steel underneath keeps rusting.

What you take away

Everything you need to decide what to repair.

Structural audits, condition surveys and NDT testing for any kind of structure, ending in a rehabilitation plan you can tender.

  • A grey LiDAR model of a bridge deck.

    A 3D model of your structure

    Every member of your structure, measured from a LiDAR scan. Open it in your browser at any time.

  • Each bridge member coloured by its condition.

    A score for every part

    Each member rated Good, Watch, Poor or Critical, with the cracks and spalls marked on the model.

  • A 3D model of girders with the damage shown in blue.

    A repair plan and bill of quantities

    What to fix first, how much of it, and what it will take. Ready for your tender.

How it works

Four steps, one site visit.

  1. 01

    Tell us

    Which structure and where. We reply within one working day.

  2. 02

    We scan

    One site visit with LiDAR, drones and thermal cameras. Usually no scaffolding, often no lane closure.

  3. 03

    We test

    Site tests only where the scan points to a problem.

  4. 04

    You decide

    A scored model and a ranked repair plan, in about 33 days for a typical 500 m structure.

The 33-day figure is a CORRSENS estimate, compared with about five months for a conventional inspection.

Who it is for

Three kinds of owner, one job.

  • Public works, NHAI, railways and metros

    Decide which structures to repair this year, and show why.

  • Private asset owners and facility managers

    Keep the asset safe, and avoid surprise repair bills.

  • Contractors and consultants

    Scope a repair accurately, and do it once.

Before you call

What owners usually ask us first.

Still unsure? Ask us directly. A founder replies within one working day.

Will it disrupt traffic, or the people using the structure?

Rarely. Most of the work is a scan from the ground or by drone, usually without scaffolding and often without a lane closure. Where site tests are needed, we plan them with you.

We already have engineers. Do you replace them?

No. We give your engineers and consultants a measured model and a ranked list to work from. They stay in charge of the decisions.

Can we use the report in a tender?

Yes, that is what it is for. The repair plan comes with a bill of quantities.

What does it cost?

It depends on the structure, its size and what you need. Tell us about it and we will come back with a clear scope and quote.

Is the method proven?

It comes out of corrosion research at IIT Madras and is being tested on real structures in our pilots. Any figure we give you that is an estimate is labelled as one.

What kinds of structures do you work on?

Most kinds of infrastructure: transport, industrial, marine, public and heritage structures. If you are not sure, ask us.

Request an inspection

Which structure is worrying you?

Tell us what it is and where. A founder replies within one working day with a clear next step, not a sales pitch.
