Bridge/highway professionals
and structural engineers require effective methods for quickly
and accurately determining the condition of aging bridge decks,
parking structures, balconies and other reinforced concrete structures.
Acoustical and visual techniques are subject to operator interpretation.
GPR provides the most viable tool for these professionals due
to its non-destructive nature, ease of use and quantifiable data.
Hundreds of bridge decks and other structures have been evaluated
using GPR.
GSSI’s BridgeScan is the only GPR system designed specifically
for bridge condition assessment and analysis and for accurately
determining concrete cover over rebar on new structures. BridgeScan
results are provided in a simple ASCII file format for simple
integration with a variety of programs. Results also automatically
accommodate for the bridge skew angle, which provides for an
accurate representation of the bridge data.
Bridge Professionals Use GPR For:
- Bridge deck condition assessment
- Determining concrete cover depth on new structures
- Measure bridge deck thickness
- Concrete inspection – locate metallic and non-metallic
targets
- Void detection and location
- Inspection of other reinforced concrete structures
