Lighting columns are particularly vulnerable to corrosion in the region just above and slightly below ground level. Factors such as water, road salt, chlorides, and oxygen from the air converge, creating a highly corrosive environment.

A specialised probe has been developed to efficiently scan this critical area, providing an instant reading of the percentage loss of wall thickness on the instrument display.

The system is designed for external deployment, with a compact search head that is utilised internally to detect any loss of wall thickness.

The beauty of this technology lies in its non-intrusive nature, eliminating the need for excavation on-site. Remarkably, the device is capable of detecting the percentage loss of wall section up to 750mm below ground level, ensuring comprehensive corrosion monitoring without the disruption of traditional excavation methods.
