Regular work related to the maintenance of buildings, structures, technical equipment (of a certain category) involves checking the condition of internal or hidden structural elements for damage. Such a check in the format non-destructive testing is carried out using special equipment without :
- Dismantling or dismantling.
- Sample withdrawals.
- Physical or chemical attack.
Depending on the specifics of the test, type, steel grade of the material under study, electrical, thermal, radio wave, radiation, optical, magnetic, eddy current, vibroacoustic or ultrasonic technologies, as well as capillary control, are used. The selection of the required method is carried out by the specialists of the SERCONS company at the request of the owner of the object or the responsible person.
Types of control
Technologies for conducting non-destructive testing are allowed to perform reliability checks of buildings and structures by the relevant Order of Rostekhnadzor. Such work can be performed on a planned or urgent basis. The opinion is an official document that is used to make a decision, for example, about the need for major repairs or the existing threat of collapse. Checking using non-destructive testing allows you to identify with a high percentage of accuracy of the data obtained:
- Dimensions, strength and density of reinforcement inside a concrete structure.
- The amount of deviation from the specified parameters of the bearing elements.
- Quality, uniformity and reliability of welded joints (seams).
- The specifics and number of layers of paintwork.
- Hidden defects of components or assemblies without dismantling - chips, cracks, shells and even the presence of corrosion.
You can get more complete information about the types and technical features of the non-destructive testing procedure using the official website of the SERCONS company. The work is carried out after agreement with the customer on an official contractual basis with the provision of a full report and a conclusion on the identified defects (their absence). For a preliminary consultation, the resource provides an option to contact a technical manager.
