Based in Montréal, Québec, CONSEN Inc is a leading company in Canada that offers a broad range of nondestructive evaluation (NDT/NDE) solutions for a comprehensive evaluation of concrete structural components, such as concrete columns, beams, girders, or concrete slabs. Our targeted structures include, but not limited to, buildings, bridges, pavements, parking garages, dams, tunnels, and so forth.
The technologies we employ are diverse, among them ground penetrating radar (GPR), half-cell potential (HCP), electrical resistivity (ER) and impact echo (IE) techniques. Unlike the conventional method of visual inspection, our NDE technologies allow us to sense hidden objects or defects inside your structures, ranging from built-in steel bars, electrical wires, post-tension cables, conduits, voids, to deterioration-related flaws such as rebar corrosion, and concrete delamination. By knowing these invisible objects and flaws, we can help you: (1) to avoid costly repairs from drilling, coring or cutting mistakes; (2) to know if your structures can safely meet their intended functions; or (3) to make a timely decision on which parts of your structures should be repaired, when and how that should be done.
