Veo Bridge Inspection

From the top of a bridge in Quebec, Canada a spectacular view can be "enjoyed" whilst reveiwing inspection data collected by the Sonatest veo 16:64 phased array flaw detector.

Bridge and Hanger pin inspections typically involve long ultrasonic sound paths to detect small indications.  Rising to this challenge, the Sonatest veo is a multi-technique instrument featuring high pulser voltage, with an impressive signal-to-noise ratio.

Combined with it's unique capability to focus the ultrasonic energy on a vertical plane, the veo is the ideal instrument for crack and excessive wear detection.  Using step-by-step wizards for sensitivity and time corrected gain (TCG) calibrations, ultrasonic echoes can be equalised for precise evaluation and sizing.  Scan plans can be defined thanks to on-board modelling tools.

Whether at great heights or elsewhere, reports can be generated by the touch of a button, PDFs created and you are ready to go!
