RADIOGRAPHY can be used to locate reinforcing steel, conduit and voids in concrete and masonry structures up to 24 inches thick. Our state of the art equipment has the ability to produce sharp, well defined, high quality radiographs that can be used to determine the location of indications and accurately report their size when it is crucial for post compliance inspection and pre rehabilitation/retro fit investigations. We have several fully functional mobile radiograph vehicles combined with the best technicians in the industry.

RADIOACTIVE SOURCES

Iridium-192 (symbol Ir192) is an isotope of iridium. Its half-life is 73.83 days. It decays by emitting beta particles and gamma radiation.
Iridium-192 is used as a gamma ray source in industrial radiography to locate flaws in metal components.

Cobalt-60 is used in many common industrial applications, such as in leveling devices and thickness gauges. You can see depths over 24 inches using Co60. After the radiation ceases, the product is not left radioactive. This process is sometimes called "cold pasteurization." Radionuclides, such as cobalt-60, that are used in industry are encased in shielded metal containers or housings, and are referred to as radiation ‘sources.' The shielding keeps operators from being exposed to the strong radiation.
