NDT - Impulse Response
PCTS offer IR certification, a method of non-destructive evaluation of concrete based on the use of impact-generated stress (sound) waves that propagate through the structure and are reflected by internal flaws and external surfaces.
Introduction
PCTS use Olson's NDE360 to measure the mobility value of a structural member. The measured load/time of a surface impact on the test object is related to the response. The Impulse Response method is used by PCTS to indicate any significant variation in the structures response.
Application
CTS Technicians are available to:
Evaluate integrity
Determine the length of deep foundations
Evaluate concrete, wood and steel piles
Locate breaks, cracks, defects, intrusions and bulbs.
