Concrete Corrosion Assessment

Assessing the concrete cover over reinforcement bars is pivotal for ensuring infrastructure durability. Utilizing tools like a cover meter, provides precise measurements that are crucial for compliance with standards, while also acting as an early warning system against potential issues like corrosion.

Corrosion potential mapping is invaluable for pinpointing corrosion risk zones and monitoring corrosion progression to prevent costly repairs. By combining corrosion potential mapping with concrete cover measurements, a comprehensive rebar integrity assessment can be achieved.

Resistivity testing plays a crucial role in identifying areas that are susceptible to corrosion and provides valuable insights into the health of concrete. By measuring the concrete’s electrical resistivity with a hand-held device, engineers can easily locate areas with higher moisture content indicating susceptibility of corrosion.

For a closer look at the signal reflection, it is wise to develop a Deterioration Map using ground penetrating radar and intelligent GPR data post-processing software. A deterioration map helps to identify areas with a high probability of being deteriorated, for example, areas with corrosion, weaker materials, lower density, more permeability, etc.

Permeability testing plays an important role in concrete corrosion assessments by measuring the detrimental effects of water penetration to the reinforcing steel. With an easy-to-use, hand-held device, areas susceptible to moisture and potential deterioration can be rapidly identified. Include permeability testing into your assessments for actionable data to drive preventative maintenance strategies.

Intelligent software transforms data collection and reporting on your concrete corrosion assessments, empowering informed decision-making. With a streamlined digital workflow, it’s possible to seamlessly integrate NDT data for comprehensive asset information. No more waiting for reports to be generated, it can be completed in seconds, in one-click.
