We can even get to those 'hard to reach' bits..
Engineering and non-destructive testing (NDT)
Geophysical techniques such as GPR are non-destructive methods which can be used to evaluate engineering structures such as roads, bridges and airport runways.
Large areas can be scanned quickly and accurately using GPR in combination with a digital survey wheel and Differential GPS. After data processing, a 3D image can be generated to give the client an in-depth view of the structure and identify defects.
What can we do ?
- Testing for manufacturing defects in concrete using high-frequency GPR
- cavity detection in structures
- moisture detection (qualitative only)
- corrosion detection
- delamination
- defects in concrete pipelines
- presence of reinforcing, depth and spacing
Types of structure
- Roads
- Bridges
- Airport runways
- Tunnels
- Historic buildings (masonry / wood structures)
- Vertical walls (eg dams)
- Concrete pipelines (inside and outside)
