Pilot Pathway / Stage 3–4 · expressions of interest

Pilot pathway for asset owners and infrastructure partners

INFORM is preparing for Stage 3 controlled pilot and Stage 4 private field pilot programmes once Stage 1 and Stage 2 evidence gates are closed. We invite expressions of interest from infrastructure owners, councils, precasters and industrial-asset operators where INFORM can deliver an engineering-relevant trial under safe, controlled and instrumented conditions.

Pilot acceptance is conditional on Stage 1–2 evidence close-out. Programme status: Stage 1 — Pre-Laboratory Activation · lab execution on NO-GO / HOLD until M1–M4 evidence gates close.

Controlled pilot framing

What a pilot involves
01

Joint scoping

Co-define a target slab, deck section or specimen geometry. Asset class, damage modes and decision metrics agreed before instrumentation.

02

Comparator instrumentation

INFORM’s embedded sensing alongside comparator instruments (FBG, strain gauges, AE, DIC, vibration, visual inspection) — as appropriate to the asset class and damage mode.

03

Pre-registered acceptance criteria

Statistical analysis plan, sensitivity, specificity, false positives, false negatives, drift and signal-to-noise targets agreed in writing before testing.

04

WHS, IP and data rights

Insurance, WHS, IP, confidentiality and data-rights arrangements documented before installation. Independent reviewer engaged for SHM benchmarking.

Asset class fit

Illustrative fit only — where INFORM may be a useful research pilot.

Precast yard slabs
Controlled curing, controlled load profile, comparator instrumentation possible.
Strong Stage 3 candidate
Industrial / warehouse slabs
Private asset, controlled access, controlled load profile.
Stage 3–4 transition
Bridge deck section
By partnership and only after Stage 3 evidence close-out. Requires asset owner, engineer-of-record, insurer and regulator alignment.
Stage 4 only
Lab specimens
Stage 1–2 specimens already covered by the validation roadmap; not part of pilot pathway.
Not pilot pathway
