Non Destructive Testing (NDT) in Bangalore

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), Restoration & Rehabilitation in Bangalore

Structural Evaluation You Can Trust — Without Damaging the Structure

EDGE2 Engineering Solutions provides professional Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in Bangalore to evaluate the condition and quality of concrete structures without breaking or weakening them. NDT helps assess concrete strength indication, grade uniformity, reinforcement location, cover thickness, corrosion probability, permeability concerns, cracks, voids, and hidden defects—making it essential for structural safety decisions, renovations, retrofitting, audits, and rehabilitation planning. Our engineers deliver clear, actionable reports that help builders, consultants, and facility owners take the right next steps with confidence.

When NDT is Needed

NDT is recommended for:

• Existing building condition assessment (old or aged structures)

• Crack investigation and defect detection

• Pre-purchase structural check / due diligence

• Quality verification of concrete members (slab, beam, column, wall)

• Before retrofitting, rehabilitation, or structural strengthening

• Post-fire, leakage, corrosion, or distress assessment

• Third-party structural safety evaluation for approvals and project decisions

NDT Methods We Offer

1) Rebound Hammer Test (Concrete Strength Indication)

The Rebound Hammer Test is used to estimate the surface hardness and provide a strength indication of concrete in members like slabs, beams, columns, and walls.
How it works: The plunger is pressed against the concrete surface; a spring-controlled mass rebounds. The rebound distance gives a rebound number, which is correlated to concrete compressive strength indication based on established interpretation methods.
Best for: Quick condition screening, comparative checks between locations, and uniformity assessment.

2) Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Test

The UPV test evaluates concrete homogeneity and quality and helps detect cracks, voids, honeycombing, cavities, and internal defects.
How it works: An ultrasonic pulse is transmitted through concrete; the time taken to reach the receiver is measured to calculate pulse velocity, which is then interpreted for concrete quality.
Best for: Locating internal defects, checking concrete uniformity, and assessing doubtful areas.

3) Half-Cell Potential Test (Corrosion Monitoring)

The Half-Cell Potential Test is used to assess the probability of corrosion in reinforcing steel within RCC members.
How it works: The potential of embedded reinforcement is measured against a reference half-cell placed on the concrete surface to understand corrosion risk zones.
Best for: Corrosion mapping, rehabilitation planning, and prioritizing repair areas.

4) Rebar Locator / Rebar Mapping / Covermeter Test

The Rebar Locator / Covermeter Test helps identify reinforcement location, bar spacing, and cover thickness—essential before drilling, core cutting, cutting chases, or retrofitting.
Best for: Renovation projects, structural modification work, and verifying reinforcement layout.

Restoration & Rehabilitation Support

NDT results are most valuable when they lead to the right corrective action. Based on the scope, we support restoration planning by:

• Identifying defect zones and severity

• Supporting repair strategy selection (as per engineering need)

• Helping prioritize critical structural members

• Providing documentation to support retrofit/rehab decisions

What You Get (Deliverables)?

• Test observations and measured values

• Member-wise findings (slab/beam/column/wall)

• Defect identification and mapped zones (where applicable)

• Interpretation summary suitable for consultants/owners

• Clear report format for decision-making and records
