Trace Structural Investigations

If you’ve ever tried to use NDT or GPR on clinker concrete, you know the struggle. The material attenuates the GPR signal, limiting penetration depth, and its irregular composition scatters the signal, making it nearly impossible to locate joists or beams in the slab. Add listed finishes that you can’t touch, and the challenge becomes even greater. Luckily Trace Structural Investigations and InspecTerra Inc. have a soultion... The iCAMM This revolutionary system, combined with our unique TRACE-SI workflows and detailed analysis, allows us to accurately pinpoint the locations of steel beams and joists within floors or walls—even behind features that block GPR. This means you can plan and position future works without damaging those important finishes. If you’re dealing with clinker concrete and need to understand how your building is constructed, reach out to us. We’re here to help you get the answers you need, without compromising the integrity of your building or damaging finishes. #ClinkerConcrete #NDTChallenges #GPRScanning #iCAMMTechnology #StructuralInvestigation #NonIntrusiveAnalysis #BuildingInspection #TraceStructuralInvestigations #CivilEngineering #ConstructionTechnology #PreservationEngineering #EngineeringExcellence #InnovativeSolutions #StructuralIntegrity #ProfessionalEngineering #QualityAssurance #ClientSupport

In the NDT industry, there’s a lot of buzz around "cutting-edge" equipment. But let’s be honest, most of the time, the gear isn't all that different from what everyone else is using. The real difference lies in how that equipment is used and what’s done with the data it collects.

Trace Structural Investigations is coming to Canada! The team is in Montreal on 13 and 14 June and it would be great to meet up with some local engineers. TRACE-SI redefines the art of understanding buildings and structures. Our team provides civil and structural engineers with crucial information about the construction and condition of structures. We specialise in delivering clear information, meticulously gathered through our innovative, non-intrusive workflows, to met the specific needs of our clients At TRACE-SI, we’re not just keeping pace with technological advancements in structural engineering – we’re leading them. Our pioneering Non-Intrusive Analysis (NIA®) methodology represents a paradigm shift in how structures are analysed and understood. If you want to find out more, reach out to Andy Kitson and lets set up a meeting.

Bit of change of pace next week. Kyle and Andy Kitson are attending the DEFY CONFERENCE 2024 in #Montreal, #Canada. This year we are soft launching TRACE-SI in Canada to support engineers over there and this is the perfect opportunity to start that process. If you are in the area next week lets meet up, there or for coffee - drop Andy Kitson message. #DEFYCONFERENCE2024 #Montreal #Canada #TraceSI #EngineeringConference #StructuralInvestigations #CivilEngineering

Reach out if you need to know the level of corrosion your bars have.

Sea defenses and piers are vital infrastructure for the UK cost. Less so piers but where are you going to get your chips stolen by seagulls. These concrete structures suffer a lot of abuse from the sea and the salt that splash against them leading to degradation of the structure. They are built extremely well to survive but regular maintenance is key to keeping the concrete strong. Their supports and sub base are also getting washed out with every wave and large voids can form where they can't be seen. That's where Trace Structural Investigations can support. We undertake comprehensive assessments of coastal structures to confirm their construction (never as it should be) then determine their condition and the presence of defects, such as voiding (that is what the GPR is doing in the video). Using the InspecTerra Inc. iCAMM, along side #GPR and other systems, means that we can determine the level of corrosion on in the bars. This corrosion assessment is key to planning the next steps of maintenance. Don't wait for a structural failure to happen. Contact Trace Structural Investigations today to ensure the safety and longevity of our vital coastal infrastructure.

Bars as far as the eye can see! For the quality assurance check of construction of precast elements, extensive data collection is crucial to confirm the as-built of the units. By comparing the results against the planned reinforcement layout, we can undertake a quality assurance check of the panels for the builders and users. Our data analysis presents a detailed report that confirms whether the units are in tolerance or not. And the best part? We don't need to pick all the bars to get the answers, allowing for fast and efficient QA of structures. If you're in need of a quality assurance check for your precast units or in-situ concrete, let us know! #QualityAssurance #ConstructionQA #PrecastConcrete #PrecastConcrete #StructuralIntegrity #ReinforcementLayout #CivilEngineering #StructuralEngineering

Need accurate and qualitative corrosion assessment for your concrete structure? Look no further than Trace Structural Investigations! We use the latest in magnetic field analysis to analyse the rebar, non-intrusively, and determine the presence and level of corrosion. With this information, you can plan repairs or control measures before it's too late. Contact us today to find out more about how we can support you. #corrosionassessment #nonintrusiveanalysis #concretestructure

Bit of Friday Fun!
