AHAM uses the Hilti PS200 Ferroscan Cover meter to produce instant, high-resolution images, to provide a picture of the embedded reinforcements - principally iron and steel. This information enables operatives to reduce drilling times, prevent costly impact on reinforcements and reduce wear and tear on drill bits and cutting tools.
Using this battery-powered portable unit means we can also measure the size and depth of the embedded material as well as mapping the arrangement and position of reinforcing steel bars, pre-stressing or post-tensioning tendons, steel conduit, and steel embedment.
The Ferroscan Covermeter can determine the size of a reinforcing bar embedded in concrete with an accuracy of about 10 per cent while the depth can be determined to 0.1 of an inch; even up to a depth of six to seven inches.
