Inspection

At Murphy Geospatial we combine the strengths of our survey experience with engineering experience to offer a highly valued service to our clients. We have built up a team of specially trained surveyors and infrastructure inspectors to capture geospatial data in difficult-to-access areas. In particular, we have developed workflows to become experts in bridge scour inspections, leveraging off our experience in hydrographic surveying to become a trusted partner to major infrastructure operators. 

Murphy Geospatial combine specially trained, experienced staff with the capture of repeatable, verified geospatial data to build and maintain a reliable database for asset geometry and condition. This method is a deviation from traditional subjective visual inspection and promotes data-driven analytical predictive maintenance operations while maintaining accepted inspection standards. This approach, combined with our cloud data–hosting platform, enables asset owners to build a reliable single source of truth for their asset information. Cyclical inspection records are saved in a single accessible database, enabling easy retrieval of current and historical records.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is used as a low-cost solution to determine information on structural elements in-lieu of costly destructive methods. Murphy Geospatial use high-resolution ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and non-destructive testing (NDT) to safely locate embedment within structures and assess the steel reinforcement layout for design and construction purposes. The depth, size and cover of the rebar and post-tensioned cables is mapped prior to a contractor drilling, cutting or coring in floor slabs, walls or concrete columns, avoiding costly damage and delay to projects.
