20. CrackScan™
Inspection System

21. CrackScan™
Copyright © 2017 Infrastructure Preservation Corporation
1. Scans for cracks from over 100 feet away
2. No Lane closures.
3. No boom lifts required.
4. More efficient, less expensive and more accurate than current inspection
methods.
5. Records X and Y coordinates of the cracks as well as length and width.
6. Future inspections allow the asset manager to track crack progression over
time .
7. Double blind study of 2 bridges in Nevada where the engineering firm
showed no cracks on 1 bridge and none on another. IPC located 7 cracks on
one and 6 cracks on the other. Manual methods cannot compete with
laser technology.

ColumnScan™ is a robotic device that lowers into bridge
columns and performs HD video, 24mp stills and infrared
condition assessments.
• Safer environment for inspectors.
• No need to rent expensive equipment.
• More comprehensive inspection data.
• Full video inspection for future comparisons.
• Articulating arms for full directional control.
• Lighting system for clear viewing.

28. UnderwaterScan™

UnderwaterScan™ Advances in underwater imaging have
allowed IPC to develop an underwater mapping and scour
detection service to replace the current bridge inspection
service conducted every 2 years.
ScourScan produces photo quality images of submerged
elements for structural, general, and flooding event
inspections.

Images below were taking after flooding and show active scour undermining with
riprap countermeasures washed away.
Images below show a damaged dolphin with minimal scour, left picture and
footing exposure right picture after flooding. Water conditions were; no visibility,
a 2-3 ft per second current with large amounts of steel and concrete debris.
