GPR Bridge Deck & Pavement Inspection 

Penetradar Technical Services specializes in Ground Penetrating Radar testing and inspection services for bridge deck and pavements, using non-contacting and contacting style IRIS GPR systems. Since the early 1980's we have conducted GPR surveys in over 30 US states, Canada and in Europe, inspecting hundreds of bridge decks comprising millions of square feet of deck area and thousands of lane miles of highway pavement. Our GPR surveys can provide critical information on bridge deck and pavement condition to identify to early faults and predict useful life. Penetradar Technical Services conform to industry standards, including SHRP C101, AASHTO TP36 and ASTM D 6087.

Other GPR Inspection Services

With over 30 years of application experience with GPR, Penetradar Technical Services can assist you in a wide variety of specialized geotechnical, geophysical and environmental inspection projects. Contact our experienced staff for information on the capabilities of Ground Penetrating Radar for your application.

IRT and Video Inspection

Infrared Thermography (IRT) produces a thermal mapping of surface temperature. This technique is particularly useful as an independent NDT method to complement GPR in bridge deck delamination detection and condition evaluation. IRT is useful in any application where surface temperature is in correspondence with the physical condition or physical properties of a material or structure. Video imaging is useful in connection with bridge deck inspection and pavement surveys and provides visual information relating to the surface condition of pavements and bridges. When combined, GPR, IRT and Video imaging represent a complete and comprehensive set of NDT tools.
