Optimizing Facility Maintenance with NDT
Investing in NDT not only protects the integrity and functionality of facilities but also contributes to long-term operational efficiency. As technology continues to advance, NDT will remain an indispensable tool in the quest for optimized facility maintenance, offering innovative solutions to the challenges faced by today’s engineers and property managers.
Detecting Contaminants in Construction Sites with NDT
NDT encompasses a range of techniques used to evaluate the properties of materials, components, or systems without causing damage. For construction sites, NDT offers several methods to detect contaminants effectively.
Ensuring Workplace Safety and Avoiding Contamination on Job Sites: The Role of GPR and NDT
Integrating GPR and NDT into safety protocols significantly enhances workplace safety and contamination control on job sites. These technologies provide crucial insights into subsurface conditions and material integrity, allowing for proactive risk management and maintenance. By leveraging GPR and NDT, industries can create safer, cleaner, and more efficient job sites, ultimately protecting both workers and the environment.
The Future of Non-Destructive Testing: Innovations and Trends
The development of advanced imaging technologies such as 3D imaging and digital radiography is revolutionizing NDT. These methods provide detailed visuals, allowing for more precise defect detection and analysis. High-resolution images facilitate better decision-making, ensuring structural integrity and safety.
How to Ensure the Safety of Partition Doors and Glass Walls as Offices
Through the utilization of GPR and the creation of precise layouts, structural engineers can enhance the efficiency and safety of partition door and glass wall installations in office buildings. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of structural issues and ensures that the installation process aligns with the building's architectural and safety standards.
The Power of Ground Penetrating Radar and Tips to Avoid Lawsuits
Ground penetrating radar is a geophysical method that employs radio waves to penetrate the ground and bounce back when they encounter subsurface objects or structures with contrasting electromagnetic properties.
Core Location Scanning and Documentation, “23rd Century Style”
OmniVueNDT is a forward thinking company. We are doing business in a different way. Giving more information to our clients should not always mean raising the price. The following images show a precisely scanned GPR image in 3D mode that was used to clear coring location to support a plumbing project.
Documentation in a Different Way
OmniVueNDT has raised the standard and implemented LiDAR/Laser scanning in the general workflow to create a TrueView 3D measurable information system so the captured 3D image can be used in the reporting process.
PROJECT ENGINEERING SUPPORT
Wind turbine farms are becoming commonly used nowadays in the energy sector. They have the ability to produce GREEN energy by using the renewable energy source that is provided by nature. These giant energy producers are essentially installed and assembled on site. That means the parts are being transported with heavy duty semi-trucks on roadways. Each transport would introduce great load to the pavement of roadways that could cause permanent damage.
Post Tension Cable Project #2
GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) is a useful tool for detecting and tracing out post tension cables in concrete structures therefore providing great support for structural repairs if it is needed.
Post Tension Cable Project #1
Our dedicated concrete scanning crew performed comprehensive 3D scanning at multiple locations of the concrete slab and determined the layout of PT cables both in lateral and longitudinal directions, as well as the regular steel rebar reinforcement. We were also able to detect the location of PT anchors for further investigations and repair.
Aerial Imagery with UAS
Advanced thinking is a key factor of innovation. It has always been and is always going to be. Whether the flight mission is under Part 107 or a recreational flight the result is always the same to capture aerial photos for a reason.
Cooling Tower Maintenance Support with NII
Cooling towers are playing an important and critical role at Refineries and Chemical Plants. Therefore it is crucial to maintain adequate conditions for the safe process. There are two ways of doing maintenance work. One is scheduled maintenance, and the other one is emergency maintenance.
Soil Contamination – Biohazard Recognition
Hazardous and toxic waste management is a high priority in every Chemical Plants and Oil Refinery. Waste management and treatment is regulated and controlled by authorities, thus regulations must be followed accordingly. There are circumstances when this regulated process cannot be controlled. That is when accidents occur.
Subsurface Utility Investigation - SUI
A Subsurface Utility Investigation (SUI) is a complex and comprehensive type of investigation that requires thorough coordination and management. This investigation process is used on both commercial and industrial sites to map out and identify the location and position of underground pipes/utility lines in the most accurate way. OmniVueNDT has a knowledgeable and dedicated crew to perform such investigations and project management.
Subsurface Hazard Recognition - Scaffolding
Designing a scaffold is engineering work, but building one takes experience and knowledge.
Honoring Our Ancestries – Graveyards Investigations with GPR
Honoring our deceased family members or relatives is human nature. This practice has been around for thousands of years among advanced societies. Nowadays, it is a necessary, yet well-used, practice in road/highway construction or building developments that the ground should be investigated prior to construction to make sure no unmarked graves are disturbed during the groundwork.
What is underneath your foundation?
Our GPR 2.5D inversion will produce valuable data to be able to build a subsurface condition map and view the lateral size of possible voids, sinkholes, or any other type of soil defects within a midrange depth.
Infrared Thermography
Thermography (passive) is a thermal imaging method when the operator or engineer is obtaining an image of the heat distribution over the surface of an object. The usual method is to use a special camera made of several infrared sensors (an infrared sensitive detector) and a lens which transmits infrared radiation.
