Ground penetrating radar RIS Hi-BrigHT

An unique ground penetrating radar (GPR) solution for the early detection of concrete bridge decks deterioration, the RIS Hi-BrigHT has an innovative design and sophisticated software. RIS Hi-BrigHT revolutionises bridge inspection using GPR, enabling: Measurement of pavement and concrete slab and asphalt thickness; Determination of reinforcement cover depth and thickness; Automatic detection of rebars; Detection of areas affected by corrosion; Location of deck slab and protective concrete damage; Utilities mapping; Delamination detection. The RIS Hi-BrigHT features: Massive antenna array: Two rows of eight double polarized 2GHz antennas provide highly detailed 3D underground tomography. Greater detail enables a more accurate diagnosis of bridge deck anomalies. Dual polarisation: Dual polarisation increases depth of penetration and quality of the imaging. Fast data collection: Hi-Bright is 1 meter wide and can scan a bridge with passes in a single direction. The time needed to inspect a bridge is reduced by 16 times compared to a single antenna ground penetrating radar. Automatic generated moisture map: The post processing software is able to automatically generate a map of the bridge deck’s general moisture zone. This map is obtained using a proprietary IDS algorithm.
