About us

At DIMCOST, we believe managing infrastructure shouldn’t rely on guesswork or reactive repairs. Developed as part of the SANACON group ecosystem—a Ghent University spinoff specializing in concrete durability, inspection, and material testing—DIMCOST bridges the gap between deep civil engineering research and modern software technology.

Most inspection platforms only show you what an asset looks like today. DIMCOST shows you how it will perform tomorrow.

Our Mission

Our mission is to transform concrete inspection data into predictive insights. We empower asset owners, structural engineers, and contractors to make smarter, data-driven decisions that extend the service life of critical concrete infrastructure while optimizing lifecycle costs.

Why DIMCOST?

• Grounded in Expertise

  Built directly on SANACON’s specialized background in concrete degradation, carbonation, chloride ingress, and advanced non-destructive testing.

• Centralized Data Storage

  Eliminate lost inspection files by storing historical testing data, core samples, drone scans, and sensor logs in a single digital vault.

• Predictive & Probabilistic Modeling

  Move beyond static visual reports. Our algorithms model concrete degradation over time to predict remaining service life and optimize intervention timing.

• Actionable Lifecycle Scenarios

  Compare repair strategies, evaluate long-term maintenance costs, and manage risk across bridges, tunnels, port structures, and commercial assets.

Part of the SANACON Ecosystem

By combining field inspection, laboratory testing (BETON+), drone intelligence (MEDEXON), and digital software, DIMCOST offers a complete, end-to-end framework for asset health monitoring. Together with SANACON, we are setting new standards for sustainable, long-lasting concrete infrastructure.
