Half Cell Potential tests provide a measure of active corrosion of rebar in reinforced concrete. This method is useful in determining the likelihood of delamination in bridge deck concrete caused by corroded reinforcement. Samples are taken on a grid and results are presented in a topographical format.

ACOUSTIC TESTING

Penetradar Technical Services Group personnel are experienced in conventional sounding techniques such as the “Chain Drag” and “Hammer Soundings” to locate and map deteriorated areas on exposed concrete structures.

CORE SAMPLE EXTRACTION

Core samples provide accurate concrete condition at specific locations for stand-alone information, and also confirms and calibrates non-destructive test techniques. Penetradar Corporation is equipped to extract partial or full depth cores along with full traffic maintenance in conformance with the MUTCD.

CONCRETE MATERIAL TESTING

Penetradar can provide laboratory testing of concrete samples including: Chloride Content (AASHTO T-260), Compressive Strength (ASTM C39),  Alkali-SilIca Reaction (ASTM C227), Air Void Content (ASTM C457), Freeze Thaw Test and Petrographic Examinations (ASTM C856)
