Even when structural drawings are not available, our advanced ground penetrating radar scanners can help arriving at good estimates of total rebar area in RCC members. Locating rebars before core cutting or for establishing contact for tests like half-cell potential can be reliably done by our elcometers and bar locators.

Rebound hammer and UPV have become synonymous with NDT. These are quick and easy tests for estimating the quality of RCC For increased accuracy, we have an advanced UPV machine and digital rebound hammer. Data visualization through graphs, charts and contour diagrams

For those who understand corrosion, HCP and carbonation are just the bare minimum We have an entire vertical that specializes and researches in durability and corrosion Obviously, the instruments we use are state of the art and are minimally invasive. Clear mapping of corrosion potential, concrete resistivity and rate of corrosion is now possible

Durability goes deeper than what is visible on the steel and concrete So at the macro-scale our tomography machine catches the voids, cracks and delamination. At micro scale, we need more than just chemical composition Such as chloride profiling, petrography and  so forth.

For what is not possible with visual inspection, we have drone survey, 3D lidar scanning, endoscopic scanning and thermographic survey. Historic restorations, as-built drawings, leakage assessments, façade inspections and bridge girder inspections could now be done with ease and satisfaction, and with meticulous detail.

Workmanship matters more in steel than in RCC, as the design codes allow for smaller FOS. Whether it is quality of weld, gauge of the structural element or the hardness of the material, our team can inspect, test, quantify and report all the necessary parameters, with the necessary photographs, drawings and visual data representations.
