The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) offers a variety of nondestructive testing (NDT) to support concrete inspection services. Our NDT team specializes in identifying problems beneath the surface to help prevent rebar corrosion, costly repairs, and damage to utilities and reinforcements.
By integrating non-destructive testing into our concrete inspection services, we help customers stay operational and keep personnel safe without dismantling critical infrastructure.
What Can Concrete Inspection Services Identify?
Nondestructive inspections on concrete can identify and locate defects such as:
- Voids
- Cracks
- Moisture intrusion
- Corrosion of reinforcing steel
- Delamination
- Deterioration
Inspection Methods Tailored to Client Needs
ATS provides a comprehensive range of nondestructive concrete inspection services tailored to client needs in compliance with ASTM, ACI, and ISO standards, including but not limited to:
X-ray Testing on Concrete
X-ray testing is a valuable method for concrete inspections, providing detailed internal views without cutting or damaging the structure. ATS offers this service to help clients prevent costly errors, improve safety, and ensure accuracy.
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity
Ultrasonic pulse velocity is used to assess the internal conditions of concrete by measuring how fast high-frequency sound waves travel through the structure. UPV is effective in revealing whether damage exists and how widespread it may be. Our experts specialize in this method to clarify whether the concrete conditions are good or bad.
Half-Cell Potential Testing
Half-cell potential testing is the most common method for determining the likelihood of corrosion in rebar in concrete structures. This test measures the electrical difference between:
- Reinforcing steel in concrete.
- A reference electrode on concrete surfaces.
Measurements are typically taken in multiple areas to create a corrosion map. This method covers large areas efficiently and quickly identifies risks before visible damage appears.
Impact Echo Testing on Concrete
Our team of trained experts performs impact echo testing on concrete. This method is used to evaluate the internal conditions of concrete structures. By generating stress waves in concrete, this method allows our experts to detect hidden defects.
