Our new video "Thermal Intergrity Profiler" is on YouTube
Thermal Integrity Profiler (TIP) assesses the quality of cast in place concrete foundations.
The Thermal Integrity Profiler (TIP) uses the heat generated by curing cement (hydration energy) to assess the quality of cast in place concrete foundations such as drilled shafts, bored, augered cast-in-place (ACIP), continuous flight auger (CFA) and drilled displacement piles.
The expected temperature at any location is dependent on the shaft diameter, mix design, time of measurement and distance to the center of the shaft.
TIP measurements may be used to locate areas of concern, estimate the shape of the shaft, evaluate the degree of eccentricity of the reinforcing cage, and determine the concrete cover.
The Thermal Integrity Profiler evaluates the concrete quality of the entire cross-section, including outside the reinforcing cage, and along the entire length, without maximum length limitations.
