AVEO Robertson Dowel Bar Investigation
Focused investigation at AVEO Robertson using GPR and ultrasound methods to verify dowel bar condition and placement in targeted zones.
Scope
GPR and ultrasound investigation of dowel bars at nominated locations.
Challenge
Project teams required fast and defensible confirmation of dowel-related information to avoid delays and reduce risk in upcoming works. The scope needed precision rather than broad, low-value scanning.
Approach
SiteOps applied targeted non-destructive scans over nominated points and delivered concise interpretation outputs for immediate consultant review. Findings were documented to support practical on-site decision making.
Outcome
The investigation provided timely evidence that reduced uncertainty around dowel detailing and placement. This helped unblock planning and lower risk of blind intervention.
Investigation data
Key findings
Nominated dowel-bar zones were assessed using complementary NDT methods
Outputs clarified placement and detailing uncertainty in critical locations
Report findings were structured for rapid engineering review
Scope achieved high-value evidence capture with minimal site disruption
Results supported safer and more efficient intervention planning
