Technology Overview
A multichannel, trailer-based system designed to rapidly scan and identify structural flaws within concrete structures using the acoustic impact-echo method. This method involves striking the concrete surface and analyzing the resulting echo for frequency components that indicate the presence of delaminations.
Key Advantages
- High accuracy and efficiency in detecting subsurface flaws
- Significant reduction in inspection time compared to traditional methods
- Advanced signal processing for real-time assessment
- Non-destructive testing preserves the integrity of structures during inspection
Problems Addressed
- Time-consuming and labor-intensive traditional inspection methods
- High potential for human error in detecting delaminations
- Limited ability to quickly assess large or complex structures
- Increased risk of structural failure due to undetected flaws
- Regular maintenance inspections of bridges, roads, and dams
- Assessment of structural integrity in new construction projects
- Rehabilitation and repair projects for aging infrastructure
- Real-time monitoring of critical infrastructure components
