We compared performance of iPEC and Hilti PS 35 at WEL during ongoing structural audit and inspection of our building on 16th January 2024. iPEC offers a user-friendly solution for measuring rebar cover thickness and diameter, providing a straightforward and efficient method for accurate assessments.
Accurate measurement of rebar cover thickness and diameter is crucial for a structural audit as it ensures the integrity and safety of the structure. This information helps assess the durability of the concrete cover protecting the reinforcement, detect potential corrosion risks, and ensures compliance with design specifications, ultimately contributing to the overall structural stability and longevity of the building.
iPEC is a hand-held device for on-demand measurement of diameter and cover thickness of rebars in RCC structures, developed at IIT Bombay. More details about iPEC available here: http://www.ee.iitb.ac.in/~stallur/ipec/
