Updating 50-Year-Old antiquated Inspection Methods

The current methods used to inspect roads, cables and bridges are painfully antiquated. This
means high labor costs, compromised public safety and high margins for error.

The Way It’s Done Today The Way Forward With IPC

• Dangerous • Improved Safety

• Limited Data • No Lane Closures
• Road Closures • 360 degree field of view
• Limited Field Of View • Quantitative Results
• Subjective Results • Major Cost Savings!

Technology
IPC gives the Department of Transportation the information they need to help properly budget &
maintain the infrastructure. This helps keep our infrastructure safe and extend the service life of
our infrastructure assets resulting in billions in infrastructure savings.

TendonScan® Post Tension Tendon Inspection Service

Consists of 2 devices to Inspect external post tension tendons

1- The first utilizes electrical capacitance technology and locates air, water and bleeding grout
(pre-cursors to corrosion).

2-The second device is a magnetic flux leakage device that locates section loss in post
tensioned tendons.

Magnetic Flux Leakage inspection of

a post tension tendon to find section
loss in the steel.

1. Portable, wireless unit

2. 2 person crew
3. Information recorded
wirelessly

Post Tension Tendon inspection service that peers through concrete and steel to properly
assess a post tension tendon. The enclosed video is showing a bridge inspection of post
tension tendons. This equipment is portable, wireless and accurate.

The information is beamed seamlessly from the TendonScan® unit to a laptop. Tendons are
marked when loss of metallic area is located and reports are constructed through the software.
All inspections are conducted by experienced bridge inspection field crews and familiar reports
submitted to the engineering firm or asset owner.

CableScan® Cable Stay Inspection Service

CableScan® is a robotic inspection of a cable stayed bridge from 8” away using high definition
video and stills of anomaly’s on a cable. The robot is portable, wireless and is run by an
experienced bridge inspector. All results are in the format that the DOT is accustomed and can
be entered into the bridge management system. CableScan views 360 degrees of the bridge
cable from 8” away taking high definition streaming video of the cable stay as well as snapshots
of any issues.

The location of any issues along the cable are recorded as well as the spot on the ground where
a bucket truck would need to park to conduct the repairs. The unit can drive around grout ports
or other obstructions and conducts a complete 360 degree inspection of the cable without lane
closures or bucket trucks obstructing traffic.

Robotic High Mast Light Pole Inspection Service

Portable, light weight, wireless. No lane closures or bucket trucks.

PoleScan® ascends the HMLP inspecting the pole, seams, mast arms, luminaries, etc..An
experienced inspector watching a screen from a base station can take high resolution photos of
any area that is a concern. The entire pole is video taped to review any deterioration
progression over time on subsequent inspections.

The service also includes UT of the anchor bolts. Polescan® exceeds AASHTO and FHWA
guidelines and offers more quantitative data to the asset owners than ever seen before.

BridgeScan® is a complete bridge deck and approach roadway condition assessment. Based
on GPR BridgeScan® goes way beyond GPR in its findings. Able to detect delamination,
debonding, voids, rebar placement, water intrusion and more, Not only can BridgeScan®
provide an action plan across multiple bridges but can also provide the budget for repairs in
order to better allocate assets in priority order.

Specifically designed for bridge decks, BridgeScan can also be used on runways, docks, piers
and other water control and concrete structures. For more information:

Think of the day-to-day inconvenience of road maintenance. Road and bridge closures for
routine inspections are a thing of the past thanks to IPC’s robotic technologies.

Our goal at Infrastructure Preservation Corporation is to find early stage corrosion and
deterioration in structures before it compromises the integrity of those structures and puts
the public at risk. For more information contact: doug@infrastructurepc.com.
