Concrete X-Ray

Do you know what is in the concrete you are about to cut or drill into?

One Contractor thought he did and cut the PT cable.

Why X-Ray?

• Best Method for inspecting concete
• Easy to identify inclusions
• Up to 16“ slab, depending on concrete density
• Film developed on-site
• Results are immediate
• Suspended Slabs, CMU, and Concrete Walls

X-Ray Process

1. Upon arrival to site we do a complete walk through of your project.
2. We identify the North location and number the shots(locations).
3. We utilize a proprietary magnet and gauss meter to verify x-y location on the bottom of the slab for best film placement.
4. Radiation barriers are set up to protect the general public.
5. X-rays are taken of each location.
6. Film is processed in our mobile darkroom.
7. We layout the findings on the slab.

What You Need To Do

• Mark the location(s) you wish to core, drill or saw-cut.
• Provide access to both sides of concete if suspended slab.
• Ensure gamma radiography is allowed for use on your project.
• Call one of our offices to schedule the job.
