The SCXT3000 system is a self contained sonic logging system, suitable for testing concrete piles, barrettes, diaphragm walls and any mass concrete structure. It is supplied with a military spec rugged notebook computer as standard, to enable the operator to work in arduous site conditions—right at the pile head.
The stainless steel electronic winch logs the depth tested and is also used to control acquisition of data if required. This enables the system to be easily operated by one man if required. Transducer cables can be supplied in 50m, 100m or 150m lengths and are fitted with submarine type connectors, also compatible with CS87 or CS97 type transducers.
The complete analysis software is used on site, enabling defects to be assessed in detail at the pile side if required. The same software can be used without licence for other users if required.

Software
The full SCAP software version is supplied as standard, including tomography options. Spanish and French language versions are also available.
The software enables the user to produce complete reports, including a pile data sheet, to show tube references, levels, depths tested, plumbed lengths and interpretation. Signal threshold levels can be selected both manually and automatically. The waterfall plot, signal energy plot and FAT (first arrival time) plots can be displayed individually or together, enabling the user to differentiate between features such as tube debonding and true concrete defects. Each individual signal is also stored for post analysis if required.
Whilst the 2D & 3D tomography modules provide an easy to understand visual, changes in FAT and energy can be calculated for more quantitative analysis.
