Strengthening existing beams in an operational commercial space posed significant risks. Drilling without accurate mapping could damage reinforcement bars, post-tensioned cables, or embedded utilities, leading to structural failures or project delays. A non-destructive, high-accuracy scanning solution was required to pinpoint safe coring zones.
Xradar™ advanced scanning technology was deployed to detect and map embedded elements within the beam structure. Unlike conventional GPR, Xradar™ delivers high accuracy, ensuring precise visualization of rebar, cables, and voids.
The data enabled engineers to:
• Determine optimal drilling locations for anchoring steel plates.
• Preserve beam integrity by preventing reinforcement damage.
• Minimize risk of unforeseen structural failures.
With Xradar™'s high-resolution imaging and real-time analysis, the beam strengthening proceeded safely and efficiently, allowing the escalator installation to move forward without complications.
In commercial projects where structural integrity is paramount, Xradar™ scanning mitigates risk, improves accuracy, and ensures compliance with engineering standards. By leveraging advanced non-destructive testing (NDT), Genting SkyAvenue’s beam reinforcement was executed with confidence and precision.
