Non-destructive Testing for durable concrete and infrastructure

Concrete Inspection NDT services focus on delivering accurate and reliable results to ensure long-term performance and durability.

Concrete Inspection methods for non-destructive testing use different measurement techniques such as measurement of cover layers, measurement using ground radar, "GPR", ultrasound pulse echo and Rebound Hammer Test.

We provide the following NDT services:

Cover layer measurement
Measurement and evaluation of the thickness of the covering concrete layer over the reinforcement to ensure proper protection against external influences and corrosion.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Radar wave scanning to safely locate embedded objects such as reinforcement, plastic pipes, and cables – as well as identify concrete thickness and detect any changes or damage in concrete structures.
Ultrasonic pulse-echo
Ultrasonic scanning to measure the thickness of concrete and detect damages.
Rebound Hammer Tests – Schmidt
Measurement of concrete hardness by bouncing a hammer against the surface and measuring the resulting rebound. It provides indications of concrete quality and density.
Measurement of concrete thickness
Various techniques are employed to precisely measure the thickness of concrete and identify any variations or irregularities in the material.
Localization of corroded reinforcement
Identifying and mapping reinforcement with ongoing corrosion, which can be crucial in preventing damage to a concrete structure.
Localization of embedded objects
Detecting and mapping embedded objects is the process of locating and identifying objects embedded in concrete, such as reinforcement, high-voltage lines, sewer pipes, casing pipes, and tension wires for prestressed bridges.
Localization of areas with lower strength
Evaluation of areas on a concrete surface is conducted where the strength may be lower than expected.

Our NDT services are popular among our clients, largely due to our ability to provide high expertise and excellent service at a reasonable cost. Customers simply get a great value for their money by choosing us.

Non-destructive testing, or NDT, is a crucial component of concrete inspection. It comprises a set of testing methods focused on detecting damages and preserving concrete structures.

DEKRA offers various services in non-destructive testing that can be instrumental in investigating potential deficiencies and concealed damages within a concrete structure. In some cases, these services are also employed to verify and ensure the quality post-casting.
