Rufus Foster

Rufus Foster is a Chartered Structural Engineer with experience in the inspection, testing, structural assessment, design and strengthening of bridges and heavy civil infrastructure. As Technical Director at GScan, Rufus leads the adoption of muon tomography across the bridges and civil infrastructure sector. This ground-breaking non-destructive testing technology uses naturally occurring cosmic rays to generate high-resolution 3D images of hidden elements deep within structures, allowing engineers to see what was previously unseen. Over the past year, Rufus has led GScan’s move from trials to live deployments on operational infrastructure, including the world-first application of muon tomography to half joint inspection at Glasgow’s Kingston Bridge.
