Measurement Network has interviewed a range of players in the infrastructure sector to understand where there are challenges and opportunities presented by improvements in metrology (the application and science of measurement). Four high impact applications (building; assessment of corrosion of reinforcing rods in concrete; discovery of underground services; and defence of critical infrastructure) have been explored in depth and the underlying common themes summarised. The key messages are that there are opportunities for improvement of existing infrastructure, and better design of future infrastructure, but that often there is a need for metrology action in terms of identification of signatures of the state of the system and the implementation of convenient and common processes, frameworks and standards for the whole supply and value chain to use. The benefits to the UK economy could be many hundreds of millions of pounds.
