Application

Steel structures

Bridges, gantries and frames where section loss matters and access is restricted.

Conditions

What we are dealing with

Traffic management and access platforms dominate the cost of a thickness survey.

Asset geometry: Plate girders, box sections, lattice members.
Typical material: Carbon steel, weathering steel
Typical coating: Aged paint systems, local corrosion products

Today

Conventional approach

Under-bridge units or scaffolding with manual gauges.

With ALTCER

How we measure it

Targeted flights to defined members, with readings tied to a member reference.

You receive: Member-referenced thickness table with photographs.

Demo narrative for layout review. Every condition and limitation on this staging site is invented.

Where this does not apply

Heavy corrosion products must be removed first. Confined spaces are out of scope.

Colibri360

Drone-mounted EMAT thickness gauge with the sensor on a rotary mast, for measuring metal structures without scaffolding or rope access.

2 – 60 mm Measurable thickness — S355, mill scale, lift-off up to 2 mm, 20 °C
0.08 mm Measurement accuracy — S355 reference block, lift-off 1 mm, 20 °C
3 mm Validated lift-off — Coated carbon steel, coating up to 3 mm
