bridgology is a solution that non-destructively maps chemical contamination within reinforced concrete structures. the process uses ground penetrating radar (gpr) technology; we measure out of gpr data the conductivity of concrete that is directly linked with the chemical contamination. as is well known, a chemical contamination in concrete provokes the corrosion of the reinforcement. this is the most common disease of our modern structures as it turns their metallic skeleton into rust. this drastically reduces the life span of concrete structures and leads to costly rehabilitation works. our process was designed to: . • monitor the evolution of contamination . • reduce destructive inspections . • avoid traffic disruptions . bridgology's process is fully optimized for bridge and viaduct decks but can also be used on any freestanding reinforced concrete element. with this solution, we extended the application of gpr technology with providing maps of chemical contamination out of the dat
