Structure integrity and Non-Destructive Testing

The main scope of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is to evaluate the internal integrity/condition of engineered structures without damage. There are many NDT techniques based on various physical principles. The end objective of NDT is detection and characterisation of anomalies such as defects, stresses, and microstructural degradations in materials.

Scurbat applies various methodologies to achieve the required information.

Applications:

Concrete, pavement, tunnels

Scope:

• Concrete slab thickness and strength – GPR, Impact echo
• Concrete slab subsurface condition (e.g., voids, slipping) – GPR, MASW
• Concrete condition assessment (e.g. delamination, honeycombing) – GPR, Impact echo
• Reo bars and reinforcing mash assessment – GPR
• Pavement layer thickness and condition for roads – GPR
• Brick and concrete-lined tunnels condition assessments- GPR
• Utility locating – GPR
