1.1 THE INTENDED USE OF THE DEVICE

1.1.1 Intended use and application range

The device is intended for inspection of constructions made of concrete, reinforced concrete and stone with one-sided
access for the purpose of evaluation of consistency of the construction, the occurence of foreign inclusions, cavities, holes,
delaminations, insufficient filling and cracks as well as for the thickness measurement of the tested object.
The device allows for quick and efficient inspection of extensive objects along with the documentation of results and the
opportunity of their preliminary analysis.
The device can be used as a part of an automatic system or for manual inspection.
The main application areas of the device:
- Inspection of concrete constructions with up to 2,500 mm thickness for the purpose of evaluation of consistency of the
construction;
- Inspection of reinforced concrete constructions with up to 800 mm thickness for the purpose of evaluation of consistency
of the construction;
- Search for foreign inclusions, cavities, holes, delaminations, insufficient filling and cracks in the concrete objects, rein-
forced concrete objects and natural stone;
- Inspection of constructions made of marble and granite up to 2,000 mm thickness;
- Search for plastic and metal pipes with more than 10 mm diameter in reinforced concrete;
- Inspection of the internal structure of carbon rods with more than 900 mm diameter;
- Evaluation of the channel condition in reinforced concrete bridges;
- Inspection of understructures, columns, overhead covers in cast-in-place constructions to detect holes and insufficient filling;
- Search for holes and cavities in liner plates of underground and railway tunnels.
- Inspection of refractory blocks in glass blowing furnaces.
- Estimation of the thickness of the concrete cover and depth of upper reinforcement layers.
- Thickness measurement of an object with one-sided access.
- Detailed recording of the obtained results.
