We use the StructureScan™ Optical system from GSSI for concrete inspection. This is the only concrete inspection tool on the market with an optical barcode reader and patented Smart Pad technology for easy wall and floor scanning.

Impact-Echo is a method for nondestructive evaluation of concrete and masonry, based on the use of impact-generated stress (sound) waves that propagate through the structure and are reflected by internal flaws and external surfaces. Impact-Echo can be used to make accurate, nondestructive, measurements of thickness in concrete slabs and plates, following an ASTM Standard.

The ultrasonic thickness gauge is used to measure the thickness of steel structures, particularly measuring the thickness of steel pipe to determine the amount of corrosion.

The Schmidt rebound hammer is a device used to measure the elastic properties or strength of concrete or rock.

The R-meter uses eddy current to locate steel in concrete structures up to 6 inches in depth.

The resistivity of soil varies throughout different soil types. Soil resistivity is mainly influenced by the type of soil (clay, shale, etc.), moisture content, and the amount of electrolytes (minerals and dissolved salts). At GTS, Inc. we can provide soil resistivity testing incorporated with geotechnical borings to locate different soil and rock strata and to map geologic structures.

Ultrasonic nondestructive testing is an established method of insuring the integrity of structural welds by being able to identify cracking, porosity, incomplete penetration, inclusions, lack of sidewall fusion, and similar defects that can compromise weld strength by using sound waves.

Wagner concrete moisture meter’s advanced electromagnetic wave technology gives you a fast, initial indication of the moisture content in concrete
