Concrete coring and saw-cutting can be risky, especially if you don't know what's in the concrete before you start work.  In many cases, the risks can be eliminated by using x-ray techniques prior to coring or saw-cutting in order to locate re-bar, post-tensioned cable, and conduit.

• Seismic Upgrades
• New Construction
• Tenant Improvements

International Inspection, Inc. will perform concrete x-ray inspections anytime (24 hours) and develop the resulting film on site for immediate results.  Concrete contents are then indicated on the surface using permanent markers, unless indicated otherwise.

• Licensed by the State Radiological Health Department
• State-approved Radiation Safety Officer on Staff
• State licensed technicians trained and certified in Radiation Health & Safety

Highly-occupied Sites

Highly occupied sites such as hotels, hospitals, casinos, etc. where evacuating two floors to perform x-ray inspections is impractical may require an alternate inspection method. An excellent alternative is our Subsurface Interface Radar(SIR) inspections.

One-side accessibility

SIR would also be the method of choice for slabs on grade, retaining walls, and other conditions where only one-side accessibility is available

In order to assure a safe environment for site staff & our personnel as required by state law, general guidelines must be met. Please see our List of Concrete X-Ray Guidelines. To request a sample Notice To Tenants, please contact one of our offices and we will be happy to e-mail or fax a copy to you.

Depending on your exact project requirements International Inspection can help you specify the use of x-ray or subsurface interface radar. On many projects a combination of the two methods can improve job site safety and reduce costs.
