RIS Hi-BrigHT
The only dedicated radar (GPR) for bridge deck survey
 
RIS Hi-BrigHT represent the unique GPR solution specialized in early detection of damage to concrete bridge decks.
 
 
 
RIS Hi-BrigHT, thanks to the innovative design and to the software tool, revolutionizes bridge inspection by Ground Probing Radar, allowing:
 
  • Measurement of pavement and concrete slab thickness
  • Mapping of reinforcement cover depth and thickness
  • Automatic detection of rebars
  • Detection of areas affected by corrosion
  • Location of deck slab and protective concrete damage
  • Delamination detection
  • Utilities mapping
 
RIS Hi-BrigHT represents a unique solution thanks to:
 
  • 2 GHz antennas with wide bandwidth for the best resolution of defects
  • a unique design based on the array of 16 antennas allowing accurate 3D Tomography
  • the double polarization, 8 antennas in VV polarization + 8 antennas in HH polarization, to provide detailed information on defects
  • the high manoevvrability of the compact and lightweight design allowing fast and easy data collection
 
Post processing software:
 
The RIS Hi-BrigHT is provided with the "GRED HD3 Bridge" software module, a dedicated tool for bridge analysis with specific tools for:
 
  • Mapping of damaged area affected by rebar corrosion
  • Mapping of moist areas
  • Mapping of reinforcement cover depth and thickness
  • 3D tomographic view of rebars meshes 
 
 The following radar maps show the tipical GRED HD3 Bridge software results.
