About InspecTerra Inc.

InspecTerra Inc. is a Canadian technology and service company based in Waterloo, Ontario, founded out of the University of Waterloo from the PhD research of Dr. Bijan Mahbaz. From this academic foundation, InspecTerra developed the groundbreaking iCAMM technology — a non-destructive solution for quantitative corrosion detection of metallic structures under insulation (CUI) (e.g. Reinforced Concrete, Beam, Pipeline, …). Today, the company offers both inspection services and research-driven innovations, helping industries assess critical infrastructure with speed, precision, and minimal disruption.

Since its founding, InspecTerra has completed over 100 industrial projects across Canada and internationally — including work in Japan, the USA, England, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. Beyond inspection services, the company is advancing new NDT technologies, including underwater iCAMM, high-speed scanning, and even smartphone-based concrete testing tools. InspecTerra also rents iCAMM units to qualified partners, provides training, and establishes regional partnerships worldwide to expand access to its cutting-edge inspection capabilities. Some of the application are:

• reinforced concrete structures,

• railway tracks,

• storage tanks, and

• surface and underground pipelines.

InspecTerra Inc. offers a unique patented scanning and analysis software solution to non-destructively detect corrosion and defects in ferromagnetic objects, such as reinforcement steel below the concrete surface.

InspecTerra Inc. provides leading expertise in detailed bridge deck condition surveys, parking garage inspection, corrosion monitoring, risk assessment and life cycle management, and technical training.

 InspecTerra Advantage

The condition assessment of infrastructure assets using InspecTerra's patented non-destructive testing (NDT) technology reduces the economic and financial impact of infrastructure aging, while enhancing safety.

Aging infrastructure poses a significant concern not only to societal safety and quality of life, but also to the environment. A significant amount of public infrastructure is in poor or very poor condition around the world, requiring extensive investment for inspection, repair, and rehabilitation. For reinforced concrete structures, the primary cause of reduced durability and service life is the corrosion of the reinforcement steel.

InspecTerra's patented technology platform offers a unique, reliable, time- and cost-effective, and environmentally friendly methodology for addressing infrastructure aging across a wide range of applications. The advanced scanning and software system is used to non-destructively detect and predict the state of degradation of the asset over time. By helping to prioritize the next inspection, maintenance, rehabilitation or decommissioning times, the overall risk can be assessed quantitatively over the remaining life of the asset.
