Covermeters
Covermeters are used when locating and identifying metal pipes, reinforced bars and other metals when constructing or maintaining structures. We supply and range of covermeters and elcometers together with the recommended search heads. Each covermeter can help avoid costly mistakes such as drilling in to objects like tendon ducts and rebars, which can blunt a drill bit and cause damage to the structure, but also pipes which could be very costly. When carrying out any type of maintenance work it is very important to understand the condition of the metal work and the potential of corrosion and the elcomter will identify the location, depth and orientation of the metal object so the correct level of work can be organised.
Leica iCON Construction Tools
The importance of digital measurement and layout techniques is growing due to increased project complexity, digitalization, and the industry's need for clear documentation. The Leica iCON iCS20 and iCS50 3D tools simplify tasks with visual measurement technology, automated workflows, and intuitive software, requiring minimal training for quick deployment.
Implementing Noise, Dust, and Vibration Monitoring for Civil Engineering Projects in UK Cities
As UK cities grow, urban construction projects face increasing scrutiny over environmental impacts like noise, dust, and vibration. These factors can affect public health, safety, and nearby structures, especially in densely populated areas or near schools, hospitals, and heritage sites. Poor management can lead to noise complaints, air quality violations, and even structural damage, resulting in delays, fines, or costly project setbacks. Monitoring helps ensure regulatory compliance, safeguard communities, and protect sensitive buildings.
