We report on the construction of the SiRO—SiPM ReadOut muon detector, a detection system based on plastic scintillator bars designed for muography applications. Using six 1 m 2 layers of active medium, grouped two by two into three rectangular matrices of pixels, each separated by a variable distance, the spatial coordinates of the muon's impact point on every matrice are obtained and used for trajectory reconstruction. Validation studies have been performed using Monte Carlo simulations and later confirmed by preliminary measurements in our laboratory and in underground, in the Slănic Prahova salt mine, in Romania.
