X-ray imaging is used to evaluate just about anything you can imagine. We are all familiar with going to the Dentist or Doctor or even going through Airports. X-ray Engineering Inc. “XRE”, applies this technology to evaluate the weld quality or cracks in Structural Steel and Piping weldments, or to see if there is Corrosion or blockage developing that you cannot see in Pipes or broken Valves that are not opening or closing. It is also used to evaluate Circuit Boards for electrical wire disconnects. It’s used in Forensic Investigations to determine the cause of fire.

XRE, also uses it to take a look at embedded elements in concrete. With an X-ray there is no guessing about what you’re looking at. You can see if the image that has been detected by Radar, Sonar, or Ferro Scanning is actually Rebar, PT Cables, Conduit, Wire Mesh or some other elements that cannot otherwise be detected.

XRE, uses Radioactive Isotopes, “Gamma Rays” specifically Iridium 192.It is used when two sides of the component or structure is accessible. X-ray film is carefully placed on one side of the object and the Radio-active source on the other .The radiation then passes through the object creating an image on the film. The film is then developed and a permanent image can be evaluated or maintained for future use. When used in field (off-site), XRE needs to be able to establish a control area, an area that only Authored XRE Personal have access to. This is so that no one can get accidently exposed to unnecessary radiation. This technology is completely safe and is regulated by government for proper use. There is no residual radiation or contamination from the use of this technology.
XRE, does not recommend X-Ray Imaging on concrete that is greater than fourteen inches in thickness.
