Olson Engineering works closely with clients to develop safe and cost-effective approaches for repair and rehabilitation of structures and infrastructure to meet the safety, performance, and budgetary needs of our clients. Our goals are to:

• Bring our unique skills and experience into projects as we diagnose problems in our visual and NDT internal condition assessment process
• Recommend required repair strategies that would restore the appearance and structural integrity and to address the root cause of the noted defects to prevent the condition from worsening
• Provide repair and maintenance guidelines for long term material durability and non-structural related items

Our NDT investigations can not only locate and define problem areas, but can also tell you when you do NOT have a significant problem - saving you money on unneeded rehabilitation work.

Olson Engineering uses scientific-based strategies to perform Service Life Prediction of reinforced concrete structures.

• We use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), coring, and a variety of tests on concrete structures to assess carbonation and chloride penetration
• We provide a depth of penetration vs depth of steel reinforcement analysis to determine remaining life of existing structures using Fick’s Second Law of Diffusion
• Our services can help our clients make economic decisions based on remaining service life about when to repair or rehabilitate
