A "building survey" is an investigation targeting areas within a site that are likely to be affected by construction work, conducted by a third party. There are preliminary and post-construction surveys that measure and record the current state, including changes over time, leakage conditions, defects in fixtures, and the tilt or subsidence of the building, along with photographic documentation. Through these preliminary and post-construction surveys, it is determined whether any damage existed prior to the construction or if it was caused by the construction work. [Preliminary Survey] - Photographs are taken to accurately understand the current state of the building and structures. - The interior of the building is investigated with the consent of the owner and users. - Measurements and records are made of the width and length of cracks, gaps, and damages, as well as the current tilt and subsidence of the building, along with photographic documentation. [Post-Construction Survey] - Photographs are taken of the current state in various areas. - The current conditions, leakage situations, and defects in fixtures are recorded, comparing them with the records from the preliminary survey to determine the presence or absence of impact, along with photographic documentation. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

"Visual inspection" refers to an examination where inspectors use simple measuring instruments to confirm and measure the condition of the object being inspected with their own eyes. Since it is conducted visually, it may seem like a simple inspection that anyone can perform, but it requires knowledge and experience to identify where defects may occur and where damage is likely to happen in the equipment. Additionally, for areas that cannot be visually inspected, such as narrow spaces, inspections are conducted using video scopes or digital cameras, allowing the inspector to view the monitoring on a screen or through videos and photographs. [Features] - Use of simple measuring instruments (scales, calipers, gauges, etc.) - Confirmation of the condition of the object being inspected (contaminants, paint condition, corrosion, deformation, damage, cracks, dimensions, etc.) - Inspections that require knowledge and experience - Use of video scopes or digital cameras for areas that cannot be visually inspected *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Eddy Current Testing" is a method that detects flaws by utilizing the eddy currents generated in a conductive test specimen when a coil carrying alternating current is brought close to it, through the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. When there are flaws on or near the surface of the test specimen, the flow of eddy currents is disturbed, resulting in a change in the impedance of the coil. This change is captured to detect flaws such as thinning or cracks, and to determine material properties. The test specimens are conductive and can be applied to both non-magnetic and ferromagnetic materials. 【Features】 ■ Detects flaws by utilizing the eddy currents generated in the test specimen ■ Rapidly detects flaws occurring on or near the surface non-contactly ■ Conducts detection of flaws such as thinning or cracks and material identification ■ Applicable to both non-magnetic and ferromagnetic materials *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Ultrasonic Testing" is a method that utilizes the property of ultrasound to propagate in a specific direction (directionality) and the characteristic of reflecting at the boundary surfaces of different objects. By propagating ultrasound into the test specimen and measuring the strength of the ultrasound reflected from flaws, as well as the time it takes to return and the range of reflection, the size and shape of the flaws can be estimated, allowing for the evaluation of the test specimen. Additionally, ultrasonic thickness measurement, which uses vertical sensors to assess the degree of wall thinning and corrosion in equipment and piping as thickness values, is widely used in the manufacturing and maintenance of various products. [Features] - Utilizes the property of ultrasound to propagate in a specific direction and the characteristic of reflecting at the boundary surfaces of different objects - Estimates the size and shape of flaws and evaluates the test specimen - Supports ultrasonic thickness measurement - Wide range of applications *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Magnetic particle testing is a suitable method for detecting flaws that occur in ferromagnetic materials. When ferromagnetic materials such as steel are magnetized, if there are cracks or other flaws, leakage magnetic flux occurs to avoid them, forming small magnetic poles. When magnetic powder is applied to these areas, it adheres to the magnetic poles and forms a magnetic powder pattern. The magnetic powder particles connect with each other, expanding beyond the width of the flaw, making it easier to identify with the naked eye. Additionally, using magnetic powder that has a high contrast with the color of the test specimen makes the magnetic powder pattern even easier to distinguish. **Features** - Detects flaws occurring in ferromagnetic materials - Based on the same principle as iron filings adhering around a magnet's poles - Expanded beyond the width of the flaw, making it easier to identify with the naked eye - Using magnetic powder with a high contrast to the color of the test specimen makes the magnetic powder pattern easier to distinguish *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

The "penetrant testing" is a suitable method for detecting surface-opening defects in test specimens. It utilizes the capillary phenomenon to allow liquid to penetrate, and when the penetrant is applied, it seeps into surface cracks and other opening defects. After that, the excess penetrant is removed by wiping with a removal solution or rinsing with water, and a developer (white fine powder) is applied to draw out the penetrant remaining in the opening defects, thereby forming an indication pattern (penetrant indication pattern). It is widely used for both metals and non-metals and excels in detecting surface-opening defects, which are considered the most harmful. 【Features】 - Detects surface-opening defects in test specimens - Utilizes the capillary phenomenon for liquid penetration - Forms indication patterns (penetrant indication patterns) - Widely used for metals (both magnetic and non-magnetic) and non-metals (such as ceramics) - Excellent in detecting surface-opening defects *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Crack Evaluation of Mortar" refers to the assessment of cracks that occur in the mortar finish applied to the surface of existing concrete structures, determining whether the cracks are contained within the mortar finish or have reached the underlying concrete using ultrasonic methods. This technique focuses on scattered waves, comparing the degree of reduction of scattered waves within the concrete between the healthy areas surrounding the cracks and the cracked areas to evaluate the depth of the cracks. The applicable range for mortar thickness is from 10mm to 40m, and it targets cracks that are 0.1m or wider; however, it can also be applied to surfaces with minimal irregularities, such as painted surfaces or tiled finishes. [Features] - Evaluation of cracks using ultrasonic methods - Comparison of the degree of reduction of scattered waves within the concrete between healthy areas and cracked areas - Applicable range for mortar thickness: 10mm to 40m, cracks of 0.1m or wider - Applicable to surfaces with minimal irregularities, such as painted surfaces or tiled finishes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
