Ensuring the safety and durability of concrete structures is a top priority in construction and maintenance. Tedex’s non-destructive testing (NDT) methods provide a reliable way to assess structural integrity without causing damage, offering peace of mind and long-term benefits for your projects.
Why Invest in Non-Destructive Testing for Concrete?
1. Ensure Structural Safety
Over time, concrete structures can develop hidden flaws such as cracks, voids, and rebar corrosion. NDT techniques help detect these issues early, preventing costly repairs and structural failures.
2. Minimize Disruption & Preserve Integrity
Unlike invasive testing methods, non-destructive testing does not damage the structure. This allows for accurate assessments without compromising the concrete’s strength or requiring extensive repairs.
3. Cost-Effective Maintenance Planning
By identifying potential weaknesses early, you can develop proactive maintenance strategies, reducing long-term repair costs and extending the lifespan of your infrastructure.
4. Comply with Industry Regulations
Many regulatory bodies require routine structural assessments to ensure safety standards are met. Tedex’s NDT services help you remain compliant with building codes and legal requirements.
Tedex’s Advanced Non-Destructive Testing Methods
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Detects embedded utilities, reinforcement bars, voids, and other subsurface anomalies with precision.
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Testing
Evaluates concrete quality and identifies internal flaws by analyzing ultrasonic wave travel times.
Impact Echo Testing
Assesses concrete thickness, voids, and delaminations using sound waves to determine structural conditions.
Infrared Thermography
Utilizes thermal imaging to detect moisture infiltration, delamination, and other hidden defects in concrete structures.
Applications of Non-Destructive Testing
- Bridges & Highways – Ensure long-term durability of transportation infrastructure.
- Commercial & Residential Buildings – Assess foundation and structural health.
- Industrial Facilities – Maintain structural integrity in high-load environments.
- Historical Structures – Preserve aging infrastructure with minimal intervention.
