To reduce the environmental impact of condition assessment of existing concrete building and civil engineering structures, non-destructive testing is a powerful methodology to use without damaging the structure.
We help you to:
- Verify that the concrete structure is in accordance with the drawing by measuring
the structure’s thickness, design, reinforcement placement and number, dimension, etc. - Mapping and determining the size of cracks in the concrete surface.
- Determine depth of cracks in the concrete.
- Detect voids and defects in the volume of the concrete.
- Identify areas of poor adhesion between reinforcement and concrete and for
castings. - Mapping the location of casing and tensioning reinforcement.
- Assess whether slack reinforcement and/or tension cables have corrosion damage and assess
the extent of the corrosion. - Assessing damage or breakage of tension cables.
Non-destructive testing methods
Non-destructive testing methods are classified into mechanical, electromagnetic and optical methods. We offer a combination of non-destructive testing methods.
Mechanical methods
- Bouncing hammer
- Ultrasound
- Pulseko (Impact-eco)
- Tomography
Electromagnetic methods
- Radar (GPR)
- Thermography
- Electrical potential (EKP)
- Covering layer measurement
Optical methods
- Photogrammetric measurement
- 3D laser scanning
We have developed an AI technology to automatically detect cracking and crack development on hard-to-reach concrete structures such as chimneys and silos. This helps us to assess the condition and calculate complicated structures without having to use scaffolding. The algorithm is structured in such a way that we can make periodic inspections and automatically record changes over time.
