A method and system for monitoring the admixing of first and second fluent materials that ultimately harden into a solid structure is provided wherein a selected quantity of a particulate tagging substance, whose presence is detectable by a fluctuating electromagnetic field is uniformly dispersed throughout the first fluent material. The system of the invention comprises a means for mixing together the first and second fluent materials, a conduit for conducting a flow of the resulting admixture, a tagged particle detector for detecting the concentration and distribution of the tagged particles in the mixture, and a recycling conduit and valve for recycling the admixture back to the mixing means if the admixture is in any way defective. The method comprises the steps of mixing together the first and second fluent materials, and then monitoring the distribution of the detectable particulate tagging substance throughout the admixture by transmitting the fluctuating magnetic field through it in order to determine the extent to which the materials are uniformly mixed together, as well as their relative ratios. When the admixture of fluent materials hardens into a solid structure, the uniform distribution of the particulate tagging substance throughout the structure advantageously allows it to be inspected for the presence of voids, cracks and discontinuities by the transmission of a fluctuating electromagnetic field through the structure.
