Wire ropes are critical to many #otherserviceswireropeinspections of our most important tools and infrastructure assets. Deteriorated suspension and suspender cables on bridges can lead to bridge and roadway failure. It is important to regularly inspect wire ropes beyond the visual manual inspections that have been conducted in the past.

We have two separate patented portable units, one that utilizes RF an advancement in ECT Electrical Capacitance  #PostTensionTendonInspections  Imaging  which  locates air, water and bleeding groutand another that utilizes Magnetic Flux Leakage to detect corrosion and locate section loss within a post tension tendon.
A proprietary tendon  #bridgeinspections condition assessment report is generated identifying locations and sizes of any discontinuities.
TendonScan® is IPC’s term that encompasses both of these services. The RF unit is a light weight,  #NondestructiveTestingservices  battery operated system that couples and travels along a tendon performing a MRI like inspection of the material within the tendon. The inspector stands at the control station located on a wheeled cart and moves along with the sensor. The sensor uses wireless connectivity to transmit the MRI like data to the control station where the inspector performs real-time assessments of the discontinuities within the tendon.

Infrastructure Preservation #airportrunwayinspectionservice Corporation has specially tuned GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) to find issues in airport runways. By peering down through the runway surface, IPC can locate delamination, debonding, cover thickness, compactness of the underground, voids, water, rebar patterns and more that can lead to problems on the runway. IPC uses ground penetrating radar and specifically tuned interpretive software to locate potential obstacles and hazards in runways and roadways using nondestructive testing methods.

Bridge and Concrete cracks are #concretecrackinspections a reflection of the deterioration of concrete structures. Crack propagation leads to water intrusion and further corrosion of the rebar (steel bars) that reinforce the bridge as well as creating a shifting of the compacted gravel, creation of voids and the overall safety of the structure. By regular inspections using IPCs concrete crack inspection service, bridge inspections, concrete, steel and bridge inspections can:

According to Wikipedia, the most #whatisnondestructivetesting common Nondestructive testing (NDT) methods include “ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), eddy-current testing, and low coherence interferometry. NDT is commonly used in forensic engineering, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, medicine, and art. In the world of infrastructure testing nondestructive testing is in fact the deployment of todays technology to examine todays infrastructure.

Public and private parking #parkinggarageinspections2 garages are similar to bridges where vehicles are constantly entering and leaving on a daily basis. This creates constant movement of the structure otherwise known as “Moment”. Over time the load bearing elements weaken and moment increases. IPC performed a concrete deterioration assessments of the traffic ramps and load bearing areas of this garage. We can also perform a concrete crack assessment and monitor a potential increase in deterioration.

IPC’s concrete and bridge crack #concretecrackinspections inspection system allows for the mapping of the length, width and position of cracks on concrete structures. X, Y and Z axis. By monitoring the progression of the cracks in concrete, we can see the progression of deterioration in concrete and address areas of concern early. Making repairs to these areas of concern will result in prolonging the assets life, saving money and helping to protect the public safety.
