Impact-Echo and Impulse-Response Scanning

Impulse-Response Methods (Transient Method) and Impact-Echo provide a great too for scanning concrete elements in dams, and spillways. 

Impact echo is a great method to identify the depth and location of delamination in concrete slabs, and spillways. 

Impulse-Response method is used to locate voids and defects underneath the concrete slabs.
