Nondestructive Testing

Nondestructive testing is used wherever possible on Ryan-Biggs projects to minimize destructive removals. Testing needs are developed as the field survey proceeds. We work to find the appropriate engineering properties of in-situ materials rather than relying on historical data. Testing services we offer include:

• Pulse Velocity Testing
• Borescope Investigation
• Impact-Echo Testing
• Chain Drag for Concrete Slabs
• Flat-Jack Testing
• Bond Testing
• T-Mike
• Moisture Detection in Concrete Slabs
• Infrared Scanning

• Vibration Analysis
• Chemical Analysis of Mortars
• Acoustic Emission Testing
• Ground Penetrating Radar
• Anchor Pull-Out Testing
• Surface Penetrating Radar
• Coating Pull-off Testing
• Rebar Location
