On 27 June - 3 July 2018, a group of 19 nondestructive testing (NDT) engineers from Sweden, Switzerland, India, Algeria, Netherlands, Finland, Ireland, Korea, Japan and Hong Kong attended a workshop in Berlin, Germany.
The workshop was organized by Dr Ernst Niederleithinger, Head of Department 8.2 Nondestructive Damage Assessment and Environmental Measurement Methods of the Federal Institute of Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Berlin, and co-organized by Ir Dr Wallace W.L. Lai of LSGI. It was the sixth run and started with a group of 12 Hongkongers in 2013, covering the basics and also the advanced development of NDT-CE technologies. The content included testing, evaluation and imaging technologies in civil engineering, such as classical NDT, concept of validation, principles and hands-on practice of impact echo, ground penetrating radar, ultrasonics, thermography, laser-induced spectroscopy, geophysical methods, pile testing, surface wave, electrochemistry of corrosion process, moisture measurement, data fusion, etc. There was also a one-day visit to the test site in Horstwalde (a forest 50 km away from Berlin), where a few practical survey instruments were demonstrated and everyone enjoyed a German-type BBQ lunch. The workshop turned out to be very successful and was highly rated by the participants. The next one will be in 2019.
