Structural Investigation for Beam Strengthening at Genting SkyAvenue

Genting SkyAvenue required structural modifications for a new escalator installation, necessitating beam strengthening with steel plates and grout applications.

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.
