Experiences with the use of nondestructive testing in internal quality assurance in civil and building construction
Building contractors estimate the employment of nondestructive testing in construction practice as useful to win additional information on the realized quality characteristics wherever necessary. Clients and supervision authorities as well want to use nondestructive testing for quality verification accompanying the construction process. With regard to the reinforced concrete structures along the new express railways of the DB AG (German Railway inc.) the client required to measure the concrete cover, to localize deeply embedded reinforcement and to check components as to eventual defects/flaws. In the contracts for new road tunnels nondestructive testing of the inner shells thickness will be imperatively specified. In construction nondestructive acoustic and electromagnetic impact echo methods are used today already occasionally within the scope of internel quality supervision. The example of measuring the thickness of the inner shell of tunnels shows that particularly public clients want to ensure the quality of their buildings; they request quality assuring measures to be executed by the contractor to prove the quality of the completed construction.
