Fdh Tech Talks

Several years ago, a student and some professors at NC State were discussing current methods of bridge testing, and they realized that, scientifically, there was a much better way to see if piles were damaged. FDH Infrastructure Services was born, and from the beginning, prided itself on finding creative and top of the line solutions for nondestructive testing of critical infrastructure. On this episode of FDH Tech Talks, we're joined by Laura Guy, director of infrastructure and nondestructive testing at FDH, who breaks down the company's proprietary form of dispersive wave propagation for NDT, and how their technology improves on the general industry standard. NDT can pick up anomalies in infrastructure foundation including voids, cracks, changes in density, or any other small abnormal detections. This is a much better alternative to destructive testing, which can tear up the slab or foundation to assess the situation (a costly and time-consuming burden). “It does negatively impact the foundation, and no
