Understanding Material Conditions for Long-term Durability
Project Examples
Non-Destructive Testing & Evaluation
We provide service for evaluating materials on the structure in service using various nondestructive evaluation process. We strive to evaluate the condition of the structure using the best possible techniques.
- We use Half-Cell Potential to detect and determine the level of corrosion or corrosion potential of steel bars within concrete.
- Our Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system can provide 3D pseudo subsurface images revealing the imperfection and location of steel bars in the reinforced concrete structures.
- We use acoustic, ultrasonic, and thermal methods to detect and identify damages in the structures
- We utilize Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques to measure deflection and identify defect in the structures.
Services
- Durability of reinforced concrete structures
- Surface and subsurface defect detection
- Crack detection
