IDS Radar has recently unveiled two groundbreaking solutions for the construction industry: the C-thrue XS handheld, dual-polarization GPR scanner, and NDT Reveal, an integrated software solution for analyzing and managing subsurface data.

C-thrue XS — Flexible Scanner for Small Spaces

• Building on the success of the 2018 C-thrue launch, the smaller C-thrue XS is designed for use in hard-to-reach areas where construction professionals can easily maneuver the compact device.
• Its ergonomic and lightweight design of less than half a kilogram makes the scanning process a more comfortable experience.
• With dual-polarization capability, users can conduct comprehensive scans in one go, ensuring more accurate and detailed results.
• The device highlights targets and potential problem areas in real-time, streamlining the overall workflow for construction professionals.

NDT Reveal — Easily Analyze, Visualize, and Manage GPR Scan Data

• NDT Reveal seamlessly integrates with CAD-based software, including BricsCad and Bricsys 24/7, providing construction teams with tools to analyze, visualize, and manage collected GPR data.
• The user-friendly interface offers various visualization options, including 2D and 3D scans, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the scanned structures.
• Construction teams can manage GPR data analysis and reporting in one place, optimizing workflows for large complex projects.

Davide Morandi, Director of Detection Product Management at IDS GeoRadar, emphasized the significance of these innovations: “Conducting a detailed inspection of concrete structures can be cumbersome and time-consuming. Many teams do not achieve the necessary precision, especially in hard-to-reach areas. IDS GeoRadar’s C-thrue XS device simplifies the scanning process even in constrained environments, while NDT Reveal provides construction teams with a comprehensive understanding of the scanned structures in both 2D and 3D. These innovations are transforming nondestructive concrete inspections, boosting productivity and safety, and enabling better-informed decisions on-site.”
