Description

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.

Benefits of the RIS Hi-BrigHT include:

Easy interpretation of data using software specifically designed for bridge analysis
Reduction in blocked traffic due to a 10 times reduction in survey time
More accurate planning
Reduced bridge restoration costs
