- Compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Increased safety and longevity of structures.
- Cost-effective compared to traditional destructive testing.
- Optimized maintenance strategies.
- Improved structural performance.
- Minimizes downtime and disruptions to operations.
- Environmental sustainability.
Types of Structural NDT Testing for RCC and Steel Structures
- Visual Testing (VT): Direct visual inspection to identify surface imperfections like cracks, surface corrosion, deflection, loosening, spalling & more.
- Drone Survey: Aerial inspection using drones to capture high-resolution videos, providing a bird’s-eye view for a comprehensive assessment of structures and facilities.
- Thermography: Infrared imaging technology reveals temperature variations to detect hidden issues like insulation gaps, delamination and water leaks in structures.
- Rebar Locator: Utilizing magnetic waves to locate and assess reinforcement bars in concrete, ensuring structural integrity by checking the concrete cover and diameter of bars.
- Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Testing (UPV): Evaluates the integrity of concrete structures by measuring the speed of pulses, providing insights into material homogeneity and potential defects.
- Schmidt Hammer (Rebound Hammer): Assessing concrete strength instantly by measuring the rebound of a spring-loaded hammer.
- Half-Cell Potential: Evaluating the corrosion potential of reinforcing steel in concrete to identify areas prone to corrosion and guide preventive measures.
- Carbonation (Concrete Alkalinity): Measuring the alkalinity levels within concrete to assess the risk of carbonation and potential corrosion of embedded steel.
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT): Detecting surface and near-surface flaws in ferrous materials by applying magnetic fields and observing particle accumulations at defect locations.
- Dye Penetration Testing (DPT): Identifying surface-breaking defects in materials by applying a coloured dye, enhancing visibility of flaws for precise detection.
- Eddy Current Testing: Detecting surface and near-surface defects in conductive materials, offering a non-invasive and efficient method for quality assessments in various industries using electromagnetic fields.
- Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT): Employing advanced ultrasonic techniques with multiple transducer elements for detailed imaging and flaw characterization in various materials.
- Short Range Ultrasonics (SRUT): Provides detailed assessments of material thickness, corrosion, and other defects in a non-contact manner, ensuring precise structural evaluation using ultrasonic waves.
