Condition Assessment and Inspection

The degradation of reinforced concrete material is a big challenge for owners
who need to keep ageing structures in service and extend their life. RC condition assessment is a powerful decision-making process for engineers responsible for these types of structures. Exposure of these structures and reinforcing steel corrosion are well known factors in the degradation of concrete civil engineering works, but it is difficult to quantify via conventional inspection methods (visual inspection and hammer sounding).
In fact, it is essential that during every condition assessment, a further step
be taken towards understanding the in-depth anomalies in concrete and steel. Accordingly, Co-mender’s state of-the-art non-destructive testing Live Instruments can be used to help conclude overall structural condition.
