Full structural survey combining visual inspection, impact testing, CCTV and photographic recording, ultrasonic pulse testing, depth-of-cover measurement and electrolytic corrosion assessment — to extend the working life of existing concrete towers.
Through its alliance partners, ) (cps provides all the plant and equipment to conduct a full structural survey of the shell on any natural draught cooling tower. The comprehensive report indicates the work required to extend the useful working life of the concrete structure and recommends measures to prevent catastrophic failure.
The survey combines visual and impact test information with video recording, photographic and CCTV footage — giving a complete record of the shell condition accessible for future reference.
Ultrasonic pulse testing is used to assess concrete uniformity, depth of cover to reinforcement and to determine electrolytic corrosion of the reinforcement — the most common cause of long-term deterioration in concrete tower shells.
Multiple survey techniques for comprehensive assessment.
Concrete uniformity, cover depth and corrosion assessment.
Complete documented record of all survey findings.
Detailed recommendations for repair and life extension.
Systematic visual inspection combined with impact testing to identify areas of delamination, spalling or surface deterioration.
Video, photographic and CCTV recording of the survey — creating a permanent reference record for future inspection comparison.
Ultrasonic pulse velocity testing to assess concrete uniformity and depth of cover to reinforcement throughout the shell.
Electrolytic corrosion measurement of reinforcement — the primary long-term deterioration mechanism in natural draught cooling tower shells.
) (cps conducts full shell surveys, combining visual inspection, impact testing and ultrasonic analysis to produce a detailed report on condition and recommended remedial works.
