About mDetect

mDetect started its life as a spinout from Swinburne University of Technology, based on cutting-edge research. mDetect uses sub atomic particles called “muons” to provide intelligence on internal structures and substances of buildings, infrastructure as well as subterranean and aquatic features.

Built around small, robust and cost-effective devices, we provide the most adaptable and deployable technology platform to revolutionise your detection capabilities. With multiple devices, we can create a 3D image of the density structure allowing identification, monitoring and evaluation.

Embedded underground, underwater or within structures, our robust and long-life devices have the versatility across a wide variety of industries and applications. From detecting unknown ore bodies in mining, to assessing potential weaknesses within infrastructure – or even identifying underground tunnels being constructed.
