Ultrasonic Concrete Testing: A Comprehensive Non-Destructive Evaluation Method
Ultrasonic concrete testing is a highly effective non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that evaluates the physical properties and internal condition of concrete through the transmission of high-frequency sound waves. By analyzing how these waves propagate through the material, engineers can obtain valuable insights into its quality, density, and structural integrity—without causing any damage to the concrete… Read more

Structural Scanning for Hidden Voids Inside Buildings – Jerusalem
Not all jobs are glamorous but they are still highly needed. This week we used Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to assess risks hidden below houses and buildings. Defects in the subsurface – voids, loose soils, sinkholes, water ingress, or hidden fractures – often remain invisible until they cause real damage. In earthquake-prone areas or regions… Read more

GPR for the subsurface evaluation – Tel Aviv, new Tramline
We recently had the opportunity to support a major infrastructure project in Tel Aviv, Israel, where our team processed Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data collected along the construction zone of a new tram line. The customer’s key concern: Are there any hidden voids beneath the alignment that could compromise safety and stability? Using advanced GPR… Read more

Become a better GPR user.
How Many Pipes Do You See? How Deep Are They? What Material Are They Made Of? These are some of the most common questions I’ve been asked throughout my years working with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The answers, however, are not always simple or straightforward. GPR is an incredibly powerful tool, but it comes with… Read more
