In today’s digital age, design drawings are becoming less and less useful in a real world that is constantly evolving with digital asset management. Even systems that are lucky enough to have received as-built drawings when the infrastructure construction was completed often do not take the time to document or update any changes. When a failure event causes a slowdown in production or ill effects to the surrounding community (boil-water orders, environmental damage, increased gasoline prices) time is the most important element.

When introduced to the environment, hazardous materials can wreak havoc on ecosystems that will have lasting affects. On a minor scale improper disposal of materials may cost nothing more than the expense of remediation and maybe a small fine but a large or continuous event could have catastrophic consequences for generations to come by eliminating natural water and food sources. EnTechutilizes non-destructive technologies like Infrared – Energy Pattern Analysis (IR-EPA) or Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) that can map the affected area more accurately than traditional methods like monitoring wells and trace the product back to the contamination source. Releases are commonly caused by pipeline leaks, underground storage tank (UST) leaks, above ground tank leaks, reservoir leaks, or leaching into the ground. EnTech is committed to protecting the environment so that future generations may enjoy it as we have.

In America alone, there are estimated to be more than 100,000 miles of levees. This infrastructure is critical to protecting neighborhoods as well as farmlands. The most commonly used inspection method is a simple visual inspection where the observer records what they can see in a standard checklist. By combining advanced technologies, EnTech has created a complete solution that can monitor the surface information but it can also “see” beyond the surface where levees may have buried debris, voids, or seepage. This approach combines multiple technologies that will provide a repeatable inspection that can be used for before and after event comparisons. Being able to quickly identify any changes in the levee after a flooding event can be crucial to getting funding in order to make repairs.

Commercial Roof leaks can lead to structural damage, mold, or completely compromise your production abilities. Once water gets inside your structure it can be difficult to locate the source of the leak and to determine the extent of the damage due to water`s ability to travel. EnTech has been utilizing IR-EPA (Infrared Energy Pattern Analysis) techniques for more than 30+ years to pinpoint roof leaks and map the moisture beneath the surface for a more thorough inspection. We are able to provide an objective evaluation when determining the extent of the damage which helps owners make a repair or replace decision.

There are many assets throughout the world that rely on concrete or pavement to perform. These are great materials that provide strength to roadways, bridges, airports, military facilities, water and wastewater treatment facilities, industrial complexes, and many more but the properties that make it strong also make it hard to assess the condition below the surface. Sinkhole and erosion voids can cause instability in your asset that may lead to a shortened lifespan, increased maintenance costs, or a catastrophic failure. EnTech’s combination of non-destructive technologies Infrared – Energy Pattern Analysis (IR-EPA) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to identify and prioritize problem areas within your assets helps you properly maintain your budgets and limit surprise emergencies.

EnTech provides subsurface diagnostics that offer a dynamic view of underground infrastructure including hidden tunnels. Our stacking technologies create a comprehensive system that supplies our clients with timely and accurate information enabling them to make informed decisions. Subterranean tunnel detection begins with an Infrared - Energy Pattern Analysis investigation of the suspect areas. Our Infrared - Energy Pattern Analysis systems detect specific signature energy patterns created by underground anomalies caused by underground tunnels and other subsurface structures.

America’s road and bridge network is one of its most critical yet oldest infrastructure. Roads and Bridges are reaching the end of their useful life and the cost to properly maintain them is increasing exponentially due to the general negligence caused by lack of resources. Owners are doing the best they can with what they have but without efficient technologies to properly evaluate the condition and to help with repair or replace decisions their dollars spent will continue to fall very short of being able to maintain roadways, bridges, or airport facilities.

Delaminations and debonding are separate issues that plague anyone who is responsible for maintaining bridges and roadways. What they have in common is the void that is created via cracking or separation of the materials respectively. That common feature is also what allows EnTech’s Infrared – Energy Pattern Analysis (IR-EPA) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect these issues. Let EnTech help you identify and prioritize problems areas for repair before they degrade and become hazardous, forcing you to replace them.

When rebar corrodes it expands with enough force to cause cracking in the surrounding materials. This cracking can allow more access to moisture, which leads to more corrosion. Once the source of moisture has been removed, rebar will not continue to corrode. Detection and repair before the surrounding materials before they have lost all strength is essential. EnTech’s cutting edge Infrared – Energy Pattern Analysis and Ground Penetrating Radar technologies can detect corroded rebar before the damage is visible at the surface and before it is too late to make proper repairs.
