Concrete X-Ray radar scaninng
Core&Saw will help you understand the quality and internal condition of your concrete structures using non-destructive research methods. The advanced technologies we use provide accurate data to make effective construction decisions.
Concrete x-ray is what you need to have complete information on:
- uniformity of the concrete layer;
- compliance of the material with norms and standards, declared characteristics;
- the presence of areas in the thickness of concrete that have less integrity in comparison with neighboring parts;
- the presence of voids, cracks, and other defects;
- temporary changes to concrete slabs and other structures;
- condition of reinforcement bars, grouting of joints in prestressed cable channels;
- the presence and location of components built into the concrete structure
Where you can order concrete X-rays from Core&Saw
for 15 years and have steadily and annually expanded our field of activity. By contacting Core&Saw, you can order X-ray concrete slabs in Denver, Fort Collins, Arvada, and
other cities.
In general, the X-ray examination process can be described in three stages:
- Preparatory. The study area is thoroughly cleared of foreign objects and materials, and markings are made. Personnel, animals, and sensitive equipment are kept at a safe
distance. - Calibration and visualization. The equipment for concrete X-ray is installed and configured, and the final calculation is performed, taking into account the thickness of the concrete being tested. After this, the equipment is started. The radiation passes through the structure and is recorded on its other side, falling on the film.
- Interpretation of the image. After processing the image, our technician examines it, providing an expert opinion on the condition of the concrete and identifying the internal components in its layers. The data is provided to the customer as a report with a detailed description of the results obtained.
You can coordinate the time of our visit with the company dispatcher. Our phone number and email are in the upper right corner of this page. Contact a Core&Saw representative and describe your concrete X-ray task in detail. This will help our specialist draw up a preliminary project and tell you the estimated cost of the entire study. If you are satisfied with the x-ray budget, we will agree on a date for delivery of the equipment and conduct of the examination at your site. Core&Saw dispatchers accept customer calls around the clock, 7 days a week. Dial our number at any time that is convenient for you.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques are ideal for quickly diagnosing the condition of structures. The concrete x-ray process involves using a specialized apparatus that emits high-energy electromagnetic waves. The radiation passes through concrete and is recorded by the receiving part of the equipment on a special film or in digital form. This makes it possible to create a picture of the inside of a concrete structure, including its components in the form of cables, reinforcement, beams, and other elements, as well as display any defects present.
The decision about which research method will be the most informative at your site will be made as your order progresses based on various factors. These may include, for example, the level of detail required or the location of the building. Our specialists discuss with the client in advance all the specific nuances of x-ray concrete slabs or other structures made from this material. In this way, it is possible to create an optimal X-ray project that also considers the customer’s budget and time constraints.
Because Concrete X-rays use radioactive elements, people, animals, and photosensitive materials must be kept at least 40 to 50 feet away from the test area. This will prevent the possible harmful effects of radiation. Please consider this point before planning to call Core&Saw specialists to perform X-ray concrete slabs at your site.
Our concrete X-ray services are most in demand and useful in the following typical cases:
Reconstruction and repair
It is extremely important to assess the condition of concrete structures of old buildings before redevelopment or restoration begins.New Construction
Contractors often order concrete X-ray services from us to ensure the quality of the structures being built, for example, after laying out the foundationProfessional audit
Concrete X-ray can be used to compare the stated or expected characteristics of concrete structures and their actual conditionRedevelopment, drilling of new channels
Sometimes, new utilities need to be routed through concrete structures. X-ray technology helps you do this in the best possible way
FAQ
Why is X-ray concrete so important?
This is an accurate and reliable way to assess the condition of concrete. Based on the research, engineers will draw up the correct reconstruction or construction plan, ensuring people's safety and the building's or structure's durability. Concrete X-rays help make timely decisions about prevention and repair, which prevents potential damage and accidents, as well as unnecessary costs in the future when carrying out expensive restoration work.
Why is X-ray concrete better than GPR Scanning?
GPR scanning is another technology for the non-destructive examination of concrete or land plots. It has its advantages, but within the framework of the question asked, we can say that X-ray concrete slabs and other structures provide a more accurate image of the internal structure of the material. This is especially important for detecting tensioned reinforcement and plastic conduits when researching critical areas of concrete structures. An X-ray image leaves much less variation in the interpretation of the data than an image obtained using a GPR scan.
How much does X-ray concrete cost in your version?
Each specific project is individual, so the cost of its implementation directly depends on many factors, including the remoteness of objects, the complexity of the survey, and the like. To find out a realistic preliminary price for X-ray concrete at your site, talk to our specialists by phone and tell us about all the nuances of the future study. Some of them can be clarified only after the Core&Saw team arrives at your address; then, the cost of services can be adjusted.
