We are specialists in the field of concrete and can identify damage inside a structure, voids in casings, reinforcement placement and reinforcement corrosion. This is done without damaging the structure. In addition, we can carry out drone inspections where our AI-generated algorithm maps defects in concrete structures that can be difficult to access, such as chimneys and silos.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":987,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-1215","tjanst","type-tjanst","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.invator.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tjanst\/1215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.invator.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tjanst"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.invator.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tjanst"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.invator.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.invator.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
