The Challenge
Measuring the thickness of a reinforced concrete wall at a water tank facility in Genting Highlands without causing any damage to critical reinforcements such as post-tension cables was the challenge for our client. The goal was to ensure that future activities like coring, drilling, or cutting could be conducted safely without compromising the integrity of the structure.
Our Approach & Result
Sonicon used Xradar™ Concrete Scanning Technology, employing Ultrasonic Pulse-Echo (UPE) testing and rebar mapping to assess the wall’s thickness at multiple points. The scan revealed that the wall thickness ranged from 500 mm to 600 mm, with the top steel reinforcement at a depth of 70 mm to 90 mm, spaced 150 mm to 200 mm apart.

Refurbishments were needed to be done at a water tank facility in Genting Highlands. To move forward with this, they needed a non-destructive way to inquire the concrete slab thickness. Sonicon’s use of Xradar™ Concrete Scanning technology’s Ultrasonic Pulse-Echo (UPE) testing and rebar mapping, non-destructive data to measure the concrete wall’s thickness and map the reinforcements accurately.
With the wall thickness ranging from 500 mm to 600 mm and reinforcement positioned between 70 mm and 90 mm deep, the scan ensured safe zones for future drilling and coring. The comprehensive scan gave the team confidence that no damage would occur to the wall’s structural integrity, allowing the project to proceed without disruption. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of Xradar™ technology in safeguarding critical infrastructure while facilitating future interventions.
