Construction & Infrastructure

From inspecting welds in steel structures to assessing the integrity of concrete, our non-destructive testing (NDT) services ensure the safety and longevity of construction projects.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a critical part of construction and infrastructure projects, ensuring that materials and structural components meet safety, durability, and regulatory standards. Whether it’s bridges, high-rise buildings, tunnels, or highways, these structures must endure heavy loads, environmental stresses, and long-term wear without failure.

NDT helps detect cracks, voids, weld defects, and material inconsistencies that could compromise structural integrity. It is widely used in:

  • Bridges & Overpasses: Ensuring weld quality in steel frameworks and detecting hidden corrosion or fatigue in load-bearing structures.
  • Commercial & Residential Buildings: Evaluating the strength of concrete foundations, support beams, and welds in structural steel.
  • Tunnels & Underground Infrastructure: Identifying cracks and voids in concrete linings that could lead to long-term instability.
  • Roads & Highways: Assessing pavement layers and reinforcing bars (rebar) to prevent premature failures.

By incorporating NDT into construction processes, engineers and contractors can prevent costly repairs, enhance safety, and comply with regulations such as ASTM, ACI, and CSA standards for construction materials.

Two widely used NDT techniques in construction and infrastructure are Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Radiographic Testing (RT), both essential for ensuring the safety of concrete and steel structures.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Uses sound waves to evaluate the integrity of concrete and steel structures, detecting hidden voids, cracks, and inconsistencies. It is widely used in foundation assessments, bridge deck inspections, and concrete slab evaluations.

Radiographic Testing (RT): Uses X-ray or gamma radiation to inspect the internal quality of steel welds, ensuring they meet structural strength requirements. It is essential for verifying weld integrity in buildings, bridges, pipelines, and offshore structures.

By leveraging these advanced NDT techniques, Boomer Technical Resources helps construction and infrastructure professionals prevent failures, improve safety, and ensure long-term durability in critical projects.
