Highlighted Service CrackScan

• Scans for cracks from over 100 feet away
• No Lane closures
• No boom lifts required
• More efficient, less expensive and more accurate
  than current inspection methods
• Records X and Y coordinates of the cracks as well
  as length and width
• Future inspections allow the asset manager to
  track crack progression over time
• Double blind study of 2 bridges in Nevada where
  the engineering firm showed no cracks on 1 bridge
  and none on another
• IPC located 7 cracks on one and 6 cracks on the
  other
• Manual methods cannot compete with laser
  technology

39
Wando River Bridge

• Post Tension Tendon Assessment

• PROJECT
• Tendon condition assessment
• CLIENT
• HDR Engineering
• IPC ROLE
• Condition assessment of Tendon to determine
  extent of corrosion due to age of bridge
• Problem Solved
• Loose and failed tendons led to concern of
  condition of tendon system.
• IPC solution included magnetic flux in lieu of
  ECT, which produced misleading results. MF
  result led to fewer invasive examinations from
  open tendon
