Comparison
with
Conventional
Method
10
【Conventional
Method】
The result of a demonstration inspection resulted in a cost savings of over 34.5% with results being
over 7 times more accurate. Manually tested resulted in zero crack of the mandatory size to be
recorded. With Infrastructure Preservation Corporations “IPC’s” Concrete Testing System 7 cracks
were detected and recorded andmany more approaching that minimum size.
