Imagine trying to renovate an old house with no blueprint. You don’t know where the pipes run, where the electrical lines are buried, or where the load-bearing walls begin and end. Every decision is a gamble, every drill could hit something critical. Now imagine doing that at scale, on a construction site with decades-old drawings (or worse, none at all). This is the reality many engineers and contractors face when working with concrete.
In Malaysia and across the region, outdated or poorly detailed construction drawings are more common than most would like to admit. And in a fast-paced construction environment, the cost of guessing wrong—damaging a post-tension cable or hitting live conduit is too high.
That’s where Structural Assessment comes in.
Xradar™ utilizes advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology to provide high-resolution imaging of concrete structures. This non-destructive method allows for the detection and mapping of various embedded elements, ensuring safety and precision in construction activities.
- Post-Tensioned Cables: Identifies the location and depth of post-tension cables, preventing accidental damage during drilling or coring.
- Steel Reinforcement (Rebar): Maps the position, spacing, diameter, and depth of rebar, aiding in structural analysis and modifications.
- Electrical Conduits: Detects both plastic and metallic electrical conduits, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
- Voids and Cracks Detection: Identifies voids, cracks and areas of delamination within the concrete, which could compromise structural integrity.
- Corrosion Mapping: Assesses the condition of reinforcement bars to detect early signs of corrosion, allowing for timely maintenance.
While primarily used for concrete scanning, our technology’s versatility extends to various materials and applications such as rock, soil, asphalt, pavements and structures.
Just as a seasoned navigator relies on detailed maps to traverse challenging terrains, construction professionals can depend on Xradar™ to safely and accurately navigate the complexities of concrete structures. By revealing what lies beneath the surface, our structural assessment ensures that every project progresses smoothly, minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency
