Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) provides critical information about structural integrity and material condition without causing damage to existing structures. Our comprehensive NDT services utilize advanced technologies to assess concrete, steel, and composite materials in buildings and infrastructure.
Comprehensive NDT Technologies
Our NDT capabilities include state-of-the-art testing methods:
- Ultrasonic Testing: Detect internal defects, measure thickness, and assess material properties
- Ground Penetrating Radar: Map subsurface conditions, locate reinforcement, and identify voids
- Infrared Thermography: Detect moisture intrusion, delamination, and thermal anomalies
- Rebound Hammer Testing: Estimate concrete strength and uniformity
- Half-Cell Potential Testing: Assess corrosion potential in reinforced concrete
- Acoustic Emission Testing: Monitor crack growth and structural changes under load
Structural Assessment Applications
Our NDT services are essential for comprehensive structural evaluation:
- Building Assessment: Evaluate structural integrity of existing buildings and infrastructure
- Bridge Inspection: Assess deck condition, post-tension cables, and structural elements
- Quality Control: Verify construction quality and material compliance
- Condition Monitoring: Track structural changes over time for maintenance planning
Concrete Condition Analysis
Specialized testing for concrete structures provides detailed condition information:
- Concrete strength and uniformity assessment
- Delamination and void detection
- Reinforcement location and condition
- Chloride content and corrosion assessment
- Crack depth and propagation analysis
Integration with Repair Planning
NDT results guide effective repair strategies:
- Targeted Repairs: Identify specific areas requiring attention
- Material Selection: Choose appropriate repair materials based on existing conditions
- Performance Monitoring: Track repair effectiveness over time
- Preventive Maintenance: Identify potential problems before they become critical
Certified Testing and Reporting
Our certified NDT technicians provide comprehensive documentation including detailed test results, analysis, and recommendations for maintenance or repair actions.
