IMPACT ECHO
Impact echo is a versatile non-destructive technique based on stress
wave propagation that is used to investigate the structure and
condition of concrete and masonry.

TECHNIQUE FLYER
Data are collected as point measurements
rather than continuous profiles: typical
progress rates are between 50 and 100
measurement points per hour.
Principles
The impact-echo technique is based on the
use of impact generated stress (sound)
waves that propagate through a structure
and are reflected by internal flaws and
external surfaces.
