Elop Insight is used wherever concrete carries load and consequences, from everyday parking structures to bridges, tunnels, dams, and critical infrastructure.
Most concrete inspection challenges look different on the surface, but share the same underlying problem: you cannot see what is happening inside. Elop Insight addresses that across a wide range of asset types.
Bridge decks and post-tensioned girders are demanding environments for concrete inspection. Elop Insight scans across full deck areas to detect delamination from rebar corrosion, voids in tendon ducts, and grouting defects in post-tensioned structures.

Tunnel linings need to hold back water and earth while remaining structurally sound. Elop Insight can scan lining surfaces to reveal voids behind the lining, debonding between layers, and inadequate grouting without destructive access.
Multi-storey parking structures often have large areas of post-tensioned concrete exposed to water and salt ingress. With the trolley, Elop Insight can cover large deck areas quickly and make systematic inspection practical.
Post-tensioned floor slabs in commercial buildings, podium decks, and industrial facilities require periodic inspection, especially when there are signs of water ingress or planned changes in use.
Concrete dams, spillways, and water-retaining structures require long-term inspection programs. Elop Insight supports systematic scanning of large concrete faces so internal defects can be found before they become structural issues.
Concrete containment structures, offshore platforms, and other critical infrastructure demand documented inspection with minimal disruption. The dry-coupling scanner avoids water or gel-based couplants while producing actionable subsurface data.
Ultrasonic pulse velocity testing is a proven non-destructive method for evaluating concrete quality and strength, but traditional probes are slow and limited for large-area inspections. The Insight scanner improves this by enabling fast, quantitative rolling ultrasonic scans over large surfaces using multiple wave modes to map velocity and estimate strength-related properties like dynamic elastic modulus.
This allows rapid identification of low-quality zones, targeted follow-up with 3D tomography, and a major reduction in time, cost and the need for destructive core drilling.

While confirming thickness, the scan also maps embedded objects and internal voids, ensuring a complete quality assessment of the as-built structure.
Read moreThe same rolling pass that covers the surface captures data on all detectable defect types simultaneously, with no separate setup for each finding.
A subsurface separation that occurs horizontally within the concrete slab, splitting the concrete into internal layers. Typically caused by corrosion of internal steel rebar.
The separation of two different concrete placements or materials where they meet. This happens when a new concrete overlay or repair mortar fails to stick to the existing, hardened base concrete.
Areas of the concrete where the fine mortar failed to fill the spaces between the coarse aggregate stones, leaving a cluster of empty air pockets.
Location and condition assessment of post-tensioning ducts in concrete structures.
Trapped air inclusions that reduce the compressive strength of the concrete. Large voids mean there is less solid mass to carry the weight.
Incomplete grouting in tendon ducts - a leading cause of corrosion in post-tensioned structures.
Imaging and quality control of fiber-reinforced concrete elements and SFRC slabs.
Accurate thickness measurement and backwall detection across the full scan area.
Elop Insight works on most horizontal and near-horizontal concrete surfaces. Very uneven or heavily textured surfaces may require assessment, so contact us to discuss the specific structure.
At a 100 kHz centre frequency, Elop Insight can typically detect defects at depths between 50 mm and 1000 mm, depending on concrete quality and defect type. Under favorable conditions, thickness measurements, defects and anomalies may be detected at depths of up to 2000 mm.
Not necessarily. Because the scanner requires no drilling, gel, or access to both sides of the structure, inspections can often be carried out while assets remain in partial or full operation.
Yes. The Elop Insight Portal stores scan data from inspection sessions so teams can compare 3D results over time and track whether defects have grown, stabilised, or been repaired.
Yes. Many clients start with a limited pilot scan, such as a single bridge span or one level of a parking structure, before planning a full inspection program.
