Unearthing the Unexpected: Non-Destructive Examination to Enhance Structural Diagnosis and Decision Making

Monday, January 26, 2026
2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. ET

The presentations by international specialists will showcase the use of NDE (Non Destructive Evaluation) and the tools they use to gather accurate sub surface data of a building’s structural arrangement and condition as a critical component of the management and understanding of the project development–and if investigation is needed to guide that process.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe why NDE is a critical tool for subsurface examination
  • Explore how much can be understood with minimum trauma to a structural
  • Identify new and developing tools for NDE
  • Analyze case studies of major projects by international specialists
