Problem
Many industrialized nations face the challenge of aging infrastructure, leading to increased corrosion risk in reinforced concrete structures. Current non-destructive inspection methods for structures like retaining walls, which are partially buried and visually inaccessible, are lacking. This makes it difficult to assess the condition of these structures and ensure safety.
Solution
TALPA Inspection has developed a non-destructive method for detecting corrosion in the rear bending reinforcement of retaining walls, specifically targeting the horizontal construction joint. The technology utilizes established electrochemical measurement techniques, such as potential field mapping, to identify corrosion activity. A patent-pending procedure leverages existing drainage systems to establish the necessary electrolytic contact for corrosion detection. This allows for non-destructive corrosion detection along the construction joint, providing a comprehensive assessment of the structure's integrity.
Target Audience
The primary customers are infrastructure managers, civil engineers, and government agencies responsible for maintaining and inspecting retaining walls and other concrete structures.
Features
- Electrochemical measurement techniques for corrosion detection.
- Utilizes existing drainage systems for electrolytic contact.
- Non-destructive inspection method.
- Detects corrosion along the entire length of the construction joint.
