1. Measurement of Chloride and Carbonate penetration
Gases that contain chlorides and/or carbonates usually penetrate through the concrete to the rebars and harm the passivation of the steel. The development of corrosion results in a decrease in the thickness of the steel and its disintegration.
We have a sophisticated chemical laboratory that executes potentiometric titration, which locates the process and enables execution of preventive treatment.

2. Detection of homogeneity of concrete in bridge elements and the state of the Tendon cables
In bridge elements casting flaws such as, cracks, pores, segregation, cavities, delaminations, may occur. Similarly, at the time of formation, the grouting of the tendon ducts may be partial. At those areas the Tendon cables will be exposed to corrosion attack. Testing equipment as Impact Echo is capable of evaluating the anomaly.

3. Inspection of structures under fire
In cases in which the constructor is unable to determine which constructional elements were destroyed and to what extent, by determining the attenuation condition of ultrasonic waves and the Poisson Ratio of the steel, as well measuring the speed in which the waves pass through the concrete, it is possible to determine the quality of the constructional elements.

4. Measuring and monitoring of crack propagation
This measurement enables to obtain data about the length, depth, and width of cracks and/or dynamically under load on the structure and monitor the propagation of the cracks in real time.

5. Measuring slopes in ceilings
The measurement is performed using lasers or optical fiber equipment. The accuracy of the measurement is extremely high.
|
|
6. Detection of moisture sources
The detection is performed using a high sensitivity thermal camera that is able to detect temperature differences.

7. Measuring the severity of corrosion in rebar
Measuring the electric resistance between the concrete and the rebar enables evaluation of the corrosion status of the rebar.

8. Inspections in tunnels
 | Soil movements in the tunnel circumference can be monitored using Extensometers, strain gages and Fiber optics. |
| Cavities and segregations in the tunnel circumference rocks can be detected using ground penetrating radar (GPR). |
| Sedimentations and movements can be monitored using prisms, mirrors and laser beams. |
| The tunnel overall status in regard to movements, deformations, earth quakes and more can be monitored for long periods using fiber optics. |
| The above measurements may be performed in real time or in frequent periods over time. |

9. Restoration of missing plans
We provide restoration services for geometric measurements, ceiling cross sections, pillars, rebar location and size, beams and more. The restored blueprints may be given in AutoCad format.
|
|
10. Monitoring of sink holes
We provide monitoring systems for alerting the propagation of sink holes under hotels, bridges, and other structures.
|
|
11. Inspection of Structures for Earthquake proof
Applicable Standard I.S. 413 requires retrieval of geometric engineering and other information for the purpose of analyzing the durability of a structure to earthquakes.
We provide information required by the civil engineer analyzing the structure.

12. Inspection of Pal-Kal Ceilings
The inspections are carried out according to the requirements of the accompanying engineers and include all the critical parameters, among them: inspections of geometric measurements, which include ceiling height, width of metal elements, width of webs, thickness of lower flange, thickness of upper flange, rebar in the lower and upper flanges, and their strength, the type of concrete and its strength, sedimentations, corrosion of the metal elements, cracks, delaminations, concrete spill-over and more.
