8095 GSSI is now offering a compact ground penetrating radar (GPR) package. The StructureScan Mini XT is the newest generation of the firm’s proven concrete inspection GPR system. To instruct users on how to get the best from the unit, the company is offering a short instruction video. The video segments include: getting started with simple steps to get the StructureScan Mini XT up and running; how to use the StructureScan Mini XT LineTrac accessory, which adds the ability to detect AC power and induced RF energy present in conduits. They also include: working with the Palm XT miniaturised GPR antenna in tightly spaced areas and for overhead scanning; setting the dielectric function for calibration and estimating accurate depths of subsurface targets; and collecting a 3D grid.

    Real time information on asphalt density and uniformity can boost construction quality - *Roger Roberts, GSSI. Properly compacted asphalt is a major factor in the lifespan of a road, as inadequately compacted asphalt deteriorates at a more rapid rate than properly compacted material. With the billions spent on road construction and repairs each year, it has become a matter of urgency to find new technologies that can ensure the integrity of asphalt on newly paved roads. New radio wave technology is now avai

    When it comes to runways, there are few busier then Brisbane’s main runway. Servicing both domestic and international travel, with over 200,000 movements per year, operating without a curfew Brisbane’s main runway is the busiest in Australia. For maintenance, crews only have a limited period of time to determine the pavement condition, normally during the night, making the detection of pavement faults difficult. To resolve this issue, a new high speed pavement scanner was used to rapidly survey the pavem

    Kevin Vine reports on the use of non-destructive testing for structural analysis of bridges Seven years ago, the overpass collapse in Laval, Québec that led to the death of five people brought to light severe issues with the state of the country’s bridges and transportation infrastructure. More recently, a crack in the Champlain Bridge to Montreal that forced over 160,000 commuters to find alternate routes to work reaffirmed a need for greater emphasis on early detection before a crisis occurs.
