Concrete Structure Scanning

Comprehensive Assessment for Structural Integrity

Overview

Infrasense utilizes a suite of established nondestructive testing (NDT) methods including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Infrared Thermography (IR), Impact-Echo (IE), and Rapid Automated Sounding (RAS), to assess concrete structures including concrete slabs, parking garages, tunnels, buildings, retaining walls, etc.. The NDT data can be validated and augmented with data obtained using traditional testing methods including hammer sounding, coring, chloride testing, and half-cell potential (HCP). All data can be referenced to the structure using both a survey grid and high-precision, differential GPS coordinates to accurately locate targets or areas of concern.

Capabilities

Concrete condition assessment
Mapping areas of delaminations, deterioration, spalling, corrosion activity, etc.
Locating embedded steel and utilities
Locating embedded objects in the concrete including rebar, post tension cables, conduits, pipes.
Identifying structural anomalies
Such as voids, variations in thickness, etc.
Measuring slab thickness and asphalt overlay thickness

Results You Can Trust

In addition to comprehensive structural assessment, the NDT data can be processed to provide the following:

  • Comprehensive NDE Inspection Reports
    Concrete conditions quantified and mapped with comprehensive analysis and key findings.
  • CADD Compatible Condition Maps
    Plan-view maps showing subsurface defects, concrete cover, and overlay contour mapping
  • Accurate Quantities
    Quantities of deterioration, delamination, spalling, and other defects to facilitate rehabilitation planning.

Technology & Tools

Ground Penetrating Radar

GPR detects rebar corrosion, delaminations, and embedded objects by analyzing electromagnetic pulse reflections from concrete structures.

Infrared Thermography

Infrared thermography identifies temperature variations indicating delaminated areas, moisture intrusion, and thermal anomalies in concrete structures.

Rapid Automated Sounding

Automated acoustic scanning uses precision-controlled chains at up to 25 mph to detect deck delaminations, removing human error.

Impact-Echo

This NDT method uses sound waves from mechanical impacts to detect internal flaws like voids or delaminations, and to measure the thickness of concrete structures.

“For a complicated project in Harvard Square, Kleinfelder hired Infrasense to conduct GPR of the roadway, redline tunnel and the utilities using Infrasense’s technology. The data was proven to be valuable to determine the existence of utilities in question where records were not complete, the roadway structure, and the MBTA redline tunnel where we were not able to get a permit to excavate to locate the top of the tunnel due to permitting issues. The data and technology has come a long way and was proven to be invaluable.”
— Tyson Ross, Senior Project Professional, Kleinfelder
“Infrasense is an essential part of our strategy to monitor the condition of our wearing surfaces throughout the state, providing cost-effective and reliable results. This data is essential for our bridge management system which is focused on bridge deck preservation.”
— Philip Meinel, WisDOT Structures Asset Manager

Their team brings deep technical expertise, professionalism, and a willingness to go the extra mile—especially on fast-moving or complex jobs where precision matters most. When we need GPR or specialized NDE, Adam is always our first call.”
— Mollie Rhett, Director of Marketing, ICC-IMS
“NCE has partnered with Infrasense on local and state highway pavement evaluation projects for more than 15 years. Infrasense provides extensive knowledge and expertise with GPR testing and analysis, providing valuable layer thickness information for assessing and selecting pavement rehabilitation treatments. Due to Adam and his team, Infrasense is the only GPR specialty firm we call.”
— Linda Pierce, Principal, Nichols Consulting Engineers

Have a Question?

  • Different technologies detect different types of problems—GPR reveals rebar corrosion and embedded objects, Infrared Thermography identifies delaminations and moisture issues, while Impact-Echo measures thickness and detects voids. Using complementary methods ensures comprehensive assessment and eliminates the risk of missing critical structural problems that single-technology approaches might overlook.

  • Yes, our integrated NDT approach provides accurate mapping and quantification of deterioration, delamination, and spalling areas without the need for extensive coring or destructive sampling. This enables precise repair quantity estimates for budget planning while preserving structural integrity and eliminating the time and cost associated with destructive investigation methods.

  • Our concrete scanning identifies actual cover depths, rebar conditions, and structural anomalies that directly impact load capacity calculations. By providing precise measurements of concrete cover, detecting corrosion activity, and mapping structural defects, our assessments give structural engineers the accurate data needed for reliable load rating updates and capacity determinations.
