Starting with an initial demonstrator of the assessment of structural integrity on bridges &amp;amp; tunnels, the technology platform will enable the delivery of applications for UK &amp;amp; international railway markets. DIFCAM engages key players representing the supply chain from research, to engineering &amp;amp; commercial exploitation &amp;amp; will accelerate the adoption of innovative high speed monitoring methods for UK &amp;amp; overseas rail industries, but also asset management in other sectors including highways, construction, energy (oil &amp;amp; gas, nuclear, renewables) defence, aerospace &amp;amp; water.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
