Infrasense recently completed deterioration mapping for two mainline bridge decks and six adjacent ramp decks, representing over 100,000 square feet. The Silliman Evans Bridges carry Interstate 24 over the Cumberland River, just north of the I-24/I-40 interchange. The deterioration mapping was performed using vehicle-mounted high-speed ground penetrating radar (GPR) to scan each bridge deck without…
Infrasense has surveyed 181 decks throughout Minnesota’s Metro district and Districts 1 and 6 using Infrared Thermography (IR) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), accompanied by underside visual inspections. GPR data was carried out at highway speeds with no disruption to traffic, and IR data was collected using a rolling lane closure. All traffic control was…
The State of Nevada commissioned a deck rehabilitation project of the “Downtown Las Vegas Viaduct”, which spans over 1.5 miles of I-515, beginning just east of the I-15 interchange in Las Vegas, Nevada. In order to facilitate planning and subsequent design efforts, a comprehensive nondestructive evaluation of the deck condition was carried out by Stantec…
Infrasense carried out high-speed GPR condition evaluations on 236 decks throughout the state of Montana. Of the 236 decks surveyed, 165 were selected for a Level 2 analysis, which involved detailed mapping of the concrete deterioration. Additionally, rebar depth contour plots were created which facilitate more accurate deck repair volume calculations. Per the request of…
Infrasense recently completed bridge deck condition evaluations of 25 bridge decks on or over Interstates 15, 80, and 84 using high-speed ground penetrating radar (GPR), infrared thermography (IR), and high-resolution video (HRV). Of the 25 decks evaluated in this project, 11 were surveyed using GPR, IR, and HRV; the remaining 14 decks were surveyed using…
Infrasense and BDI recently teamed to perform a unique study of three bridges in Davie County, North Carolina for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). The objective of the study was to pilot a comprehensive NDE testing program on a small sample of bridge decks, which will be used as a basis for future…
This past summer, Infrasense conducted a multi-faceted non-destructive survey and report for 17 bridge decks in Wisconsin DOT’s North Central Region. The project provided the client with a comprehensive set of condition results to facilitate a data-driven approach to programming their bridge inventory. Surveys were performed at normal driving speed with no disruption to traffic.…
In order to facilitate rehabilitation planning of an asphalt overlaid bridge deck carrying I-87 over Pascack Road, ground penetrating radar (GPR) was used to quantify and map concrete deterioration. The GPR data was carried out at driving speeds using a vehicle-based system, so no lane closures were required. In addition to being deployed at driving…
Infrasense recently performed a ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey of the bridge deck carrying Lafayette Road over the Soo Line and B.N. Railroad in St. Paul, Minnesota. The GPR data collection system included dual 2GHz horn antennas and a SIR-30 control unit manufactured by GSSI of Nashua, NH. This GPR survey was carried out at…
In mid-May, Infrasense began phase 1 of deck testing on 52 bridge decks throughout 12 counties in Oregon. We have started with the ground penetrating radar testing, and plan to return in July to perform infrared testing under more optimal weather conditions. Phase 2 will begin in late summer or early fall, after preliminary GPR…
