Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Testing

UPV is a non-destructive testing method used to assess the quality and uniformity of concrete. By sending ultrasonic waves through the material, we can evaluate its strength, detect cracks, and identify areas with poor compaction or internal flaws. At Nattest, we use the Proceq Pundit device to ensure precise and consistent results.

UPV testing is widely used in construction and structural assessments, providing valuable insights without causing any damage to the structure. It’s especially useful for monitoring the condition of bridges, columns, and beams over time.

Advantages of UPV Testing with Proceq Pundit:

• Non-destructive and fast testing method
   
• Evaluates concrete quality and strength
   
• Detects internal flaws like cracks or voids
   
• Helps identify weak zones in the structure
   
• Supports long-term maintenance planning
