Highway |Roadway Inspections

IPC’s Highway Condition Assessment Inspection

is designed to assess the condition of the concrete or asphalt cover and the base and
sub-base within the roadway.

IPC’s equipment can detect the deterioration levels of the concrete cover, locating voids
and loss of density within the fill assessing the effects of weakened fill on the roadway.

Post construction assessment of concrete including gravel, re-bar placement and cover
thickness can not only assure proper construction but create a baseline for future
inspections.

IPC’s Inspection Vehicle

A specially outfitted vehicle loaded with ground penetrating radar equipment and internal hardware and results driven interpretation software can travel at 35 mph over the roadway and cover an average of 200 miles per day. No lane closures or heavy equipment.

Quantitative results with easily identifiable actionable items will be provided to the asset owner/department of transportation in a form that they are accustomed.

IPC’s Electromagnetic GPR assessments

Can peer 15 feet through the surface of any roadway bridge deck bridge approach way or
other surface. IPC’s interpretation goes way beyond conventional GPR.

IPC GPR is a customized GPR solution tuned over years of research and development specifically for
infrastructure inspections.

Electromagnetic image of what good fill looks like under a roadway similar to this bridge.  This was a clean abutment backwall, good fill under roadway with no voids.

IPC conducts these inspections for the department of transportation for the same price the DOT currently pays for manual subjective inspections. 

The safety of our roads and bridges depend on the most thorough NDT inspections. IPC spent 6 years in R&D creating state of the art robotic inspections to help inspect and maintain worldwide infrastructures.  

IPC’s customized GPR interpretation software can provide the detail necessary to properly assess our roadways, keep us safe, keep our spending budgets under control and allow us to extend the life of our roadway infrastructure indefinitely.  For more information click here.
