Utility Mapping Boston, MA

Subsurface Utility Engineering (S.U.E.) requires working together to plan safe and efficient surveys, which often means overnight shifts to minimize interactions with traffic. In addition to traditional utility mapping tools, Infrasense can deploy vehicle-based ground penetrating radar as part of SUE projects to report other subsurface conditions including pavement layer thicknesses and moisture ingress/ voiding.

Concrete Structure Scanning in Western Massachussetts

Infrasense is out in Western Massachusetts recently completing a comprehensive evaluation of a bridge, including GPR, impact-echo, hammer sounding, and rebound hammer testing on all pier caps, columns, and abutments. The nondestructive testing data will be used to provide detailed maps and quantities of the substructure element conditions. If you have an upcoming project where…

Utilities Mapping Near Boston Tunnels

Infrasense recently completed a subsurface utility engineering (SUE) project in the vicinity of the four vent buildings that service the Sumner and Callahan Tunnels in Boston, MA. The project involved reviewing availability site drawings (QL-D), confirming the location of the site features (e.g., water valves, catch basins, manholes) (QL-C), and locating known and unknown utilities…

Concrete Structure Evaluation in Revere, MA

Infrasense just completed data collection for a concrete structure evaluation project on a building in Revere, MA. Ground penetrating radar was used to scan over 50,000 sq. ft. of concrete slab, spanning several floors. Data collected will be used to identify the spacing and depth of reinforcing steel bars and identify other targets such as…

Nondestructive Scanning of Parking Structures in MA and NJ

Infrasense has been busy the last couple of weeks completing non-destructive scanning of parking structures in MA and NJ. The results of these surveys include maps of concrete deterioration, rebar depth, and rebar spacing/layout. If you have an upcoming project where these capabilities would be of value, please email us at opps@infrasense.com 

FWD in MA, NH, and NJ

Infrasense has been busy with falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing in MA, NH, and NJ over the past couple of months, completing testing along 15 state highway project sections. The FWD data is combined with ground penetrating radar (GPR) data and the resulting outputs include pavement layer moduli, pavement layer thicknesses, subgrade resilient modulus, effective…
