CX11 High Frequency GPR
The MALΕ CX Concrete Imaging System is designed for the non-destructive investigation and imaging of concrete structure.
Construction professionals involved in the cutting, coring or drilling of concrete structure require a safe and reliable means of inspecting work areas to locate and identify hidden features that could cause damage to machinery, or pose a danger to the operator or the structure itself during these activities.
The CX system allows you to scan concrete structure simply and safely and present data clearly for real-time and in-the-box data acquisition, display and analysis. It is a quicker, safer and more cost effective option than competing systems or traditional radiographic testing methods and is available in two options CX10 and CX11.
| AUSTRALIAN APPLICATIONS |
In Australia the CX11 System is typically used concrete investigations. Main targets are post-tension cables and utilities. The system is also used for the mapping of steel reinforcement which under some conditions should not be cut by coring. Typically a locator using the CX11 concrete scanner would be called in to 'clear' an area prior to cutting or coring the concrete slab. Asphalt thickness estimation is also an common application The CX11 system is suited for individuals and organisations wanting to service the infrastructure and construction industries.

The CX system was the world's first to combine GPR with the more common Electro-Magnetic (EM) technology by way of a fully integrated 50/60 Hz sensor. This combination allows the detection of both metallic and non metallic objects and features, but also aids in the detection and location of metallic conductors energized with 50/ 60 Hz within the structure under investigation; thereby offering an additional element of safety to the system.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
| 2.3 GHz Shielded Antenna: |
CX11 Monitor / Control Unit |
|
|
The 2.3 GHz antenna is a high resolution antenna used for the high quality radar measurements; it offers the highest resolution for shallow investigations in the HF range. It is commonly used for concrete, reinforcement studies and for road mapping and quality assurance. |
The CX11 Monitor incorporates a Transreflective TFT LCD for operating environments with high ambient light or direct bright sunlight. |
1.6 GHz Shielded Antenna |
1.6 GHz Shielded Antenna w/ EM Sensor |
|
|
The 1.6 GHz antenna is a high resolution antenna used for high quality radar measurements, with medium penetration in the HF range. It is commonly used for concrete, reinforcement studies and for road mapping and quality assurance. |
The 1.6 GHz with EM antenna is a high resolution antenna used for high quality radar measurements, with medium penetration in the HF range. It is commonly used for concrete, reinforcement studies and for road mapping and quality assurance. |
1.2 GHz Shielded Antenna |
