Concrete Endoscopy Test.

Our Services

Non-destructive internal inspection of concrete structures using high-resolution video endoscopes

Concrete Endoscopy Test is a non-destructive examination used to visually inspect the internal condition of concrete structures by inserting a small-diameter, high-resolution camera (endoscope) into pre-drilled holes or natural openings. This method helps engineers identify internal defects without breaking or damaging the structure, making it an essential diagnostic tool for quality assessment, repair planning, and structural investigations.

Why EndoscopyMatters.

Reveals Internal Defects Without Damaging the Structure

Endoscopy allows engineers to visually detect: Voids and honeycombing, Poor compaction, Delamination, Internal cracks, Segregation, Improper grouting. These issues cannot be identified through surface inspection alone. This makes the test critical for quality verification of newly cast as well as existing structures.

Evaluates Reinforcement Condition & Corrosion Signs,

The camera can inspect reinforcement steel (rebar) inside concrete to check: Corrosion initiation, Loss of cover Misalignment or improper placement, Inadequate grout filling in ducts (for prestressed structures). This information is crucial for making decisions regarding structural safety and rehabilitation.

Helps Verify Construction Quality & Detect Workmanship Issues.

Endoscopy provides clarity on whether construction was done as per specification. It verifies: Dowel and anchor installation Condition of construction joints Bond between old and new concrete Grouting quality in post-tensioned ducts Such visual evidence is vital for project consultants, auditors, and clients for quality assurance.

Supports Safe, Targeted, and Cost-Effective Repairs

By revealing the exact internal problem areas, the test helps engineers: Identify the true extent of damage. Avoid unnecessary breaking or demolition Plan targeted strengthening or injection works Save cost and time in repair execution. This ensures minimal disturbance, maximum diagnostic accuracy, and safe repair decisions.
