Summary Infrastructure was intensely created during a period of high economic growth. Now this aging infrastructure is a concern due to an increasing threat of accidents and the potential results of natural disasters upon it that could affect society as a whole, in addition to increasing maintenance costs and reconstruction expense. In place of reactionary measures used to address present damage, we must implement strategic maintenance and control techniques based on preventive maintenance thinking to attempt to reduce total costs through long-lived facilities. Therefore NILIM developed inspection and monitoring technology for preventive control of infrastructure.
