Innovative Solutions
Deck Acoustic Response (DAR) System
Identify delaminations and other defects in bridge decks and other concrete structures with automated acoustic testing. Refined models built on considerable validation data power the high-speed analytics behind the defect mappings that SounDAR produces, ensuring accurate repair estimates and fast turnaround in reporting.
Multi-technology Approach to bridge deck NDE
Aerial imaging, vehicle-based NDE scanning, and traditional testing methods are strategically combined to deliver quantitative information for improved asset management.
Structural and Subsurface Spillway Inspection Services
MITIGATING RISK AND MAINTAINING PUBLIC SAFETY BY PROVIDING DAM SPILLWAY OWNERS WITH A FULL ASSESSMENT OF THEIR STRUCTURE
Fusing multiple structural nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques and deploying efficient data collections methods, spillway owners can receive a detailed and complete mapping of both the integrity of the spillway structure itself and the geophysical conditions below the spillway.
