Ultrasonic Pulse Echo Scanning Services by ConcreteScan
ConcreteScan offers advanced Ultrasonic Pulse Echo scanning services throughout the United States and Canada, specializing in detecting voids, honeycombs, and delamination in concrete projects. Our cutting-edge technology ensures precise assessments in nearly all major cities and towns across both countries.
Discover Ultrasonic Pulse Echo Technology
Explore the future of utility detection with Ultrasonic Pulse Echo (UPE) technology. This non-invasive method accurately locates buried utilities such as pipes, cables, and conduits beneath concrete surfaces, safeguarding their integrity.
Ultrasonic Pulse Echo
Ultrasonic Pulse Echo (UPE) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that analyzes sub-surface targets within concrete structures using acoustic stress waves. By detecting abnormalities in acoustical impedance distinct from concrete, UPE identifies defects without the need to access both sides of the concrete.
How Ultrasonic Pulse Echo Works
Utilizing stress waves, UPE measures the transit time of ultrasonic waves through concrete. Our state-of-the-art devices employ piezoelectric transducers to send short-burst, high-amplitude pulses through the concrete surface, reflecting and refracting at interfaces of voids or internal targets. These signals are analyzed to determine wave travel time and locate potential issues.
Why Choose Ultrasonic Pulse Echo?
Ultrasonic Pulse Echo (UPE) is crucial for identifying structural flaws early, preventing significant damage or collapse. It enhances concrete assessment by detecting voids, honeycombs, delaminations, cracks, and more. ConcreteScan uses the PD8050, the World’s Lightest Wireless Ultrasonic Imaging System with Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence capabilities, ensuring unparalleled accuracy.
Applications of Ultrasonic Pulse Echo
ConcreteScan offers UPE testing services for a wide array of projects, including government initiatives, construction contractors, developers, consultants, and property owners. Our services include:
- Locating subsurface defects like flaws, cracks, honeycombing, and poor patches in concrete.
- Measuring concrete element thickness.
- Determining concrete pulse velocity to assess strength and homogeneity.
