✅ Real Images In Real Time
Digital concrete xray technology produces true photographic images of what lies inside concrete — not signals, not estimates. With Nova’s digital radiography system, our technicians can instantly identify:
Conduits — and whether they contain live wires or are empty
Post-tension cables — clearly visible when crossed by the beam
Rebar — including diameter, spacing, and layering
Voids, anomalies, and embedded elements others may miss
📊 GPR Has Critical Limitations
While Ground Penetrating Radar is commonly used, it cannot match the clarity or certainty provided by digital xraying.
Feature/Capability | Digital Xray | GPR Scanning |
|---|---|---|
Image Output | High-resolution xray images | Signal reflections |
Wires vs. Empty Conduits | ✅ Clearly distinguishable | ❌ Not possible |
Post-Tension Cables | ✅ Clearly visible | ⚠️ Signal distortion possible |
Rebar Size & Layering | ✅ Visible and measurable | ❌ Approximated only |
Material Identification | ✅ Yes – by density | ❌ No |
Depth Estimation | ❌ Not available | ✅ Available (estimated) |
Interpretation Needed | Minimal – real images | High – experience-dependent |
✅ Safety and Efficiency Built In
Low radiation output, fast exposure times
Minimal site disruption – smaller or no exclusion zones
Operates in tight spaces, including beneath occupied floors
Superior performance on metal mesh, wet concrete, or complex slab builds — where GPR often fails
🎯 When Precision Matters
Whether you're cutting, coring, or scanning for structural assessment, digital concrete xray eliminates guesswork.
GPR:
May miss live conduits
Offers no insight into rebar size or layering
Cannot reliably identify post-tension cables in congested slabs
Digital X-Ray:
Confirms what’s there, and what’s not
Gives your team full confidence before cutting
Helps you avoid costly errors
🏆 The Digital X-Ray Advantage:
Instant imaging: results on-site, no waiting
Detects live power lines, empty pipes, rebar, post-tension cables
No interpretation guesswork — just crystal-clear radiographic results
Exceeds safety and quality standards
Trusted by concrete coring, cutting, and engineering professionals
Real cases
Case 1: 5 Conduits and 6 Post-Tension Cables
Case 2: 4 Post-Tension Cables
Case 3: Conduit & 4 Post-Tension Cables
Case 4: Post-Tension Cable Bells
