Elcometer Borehole Probe / Tendon Duct Locator - Technical Specifications

The range of Protovale by Elcometer Concrete Covermeters are unequalled at finding the precise location and orientation of the first layers of reinforcing bars (rebars) with the transverse bar tied to it.

No covermeter will find subsequent layers of steel reinforcement deep within the concrete. Nor can they locate pre-stressing or post tensioning tendons underneath the top reinforcement.

When the Elcometer Borehole Probe is connected to the Elcometer Protovale 331 the user can now locate rebar and tendon ducts at greater depths than any other covermeter on the market today.

  • Reduce unnecessary boreholes - Significantly reduces abortive drilling that not only costs both time and money but also weakens structural integrity.

  • Protect drills and reinforcement - The Probe warns you before you hit metal, reducing damage to drills, tendons and rebars.

  • Drill holes faster and more safely - Drill with confidence knowing that you're safe from hitting metal in the concrete over a measured distance

  • Install anodes accurately - Use the Probe to install anodes at the correct distance from steel reinforcement.

  • Directional location field - Rocker switch on probe head allows fast, easy change between forwards or sideways detection

  • Measures depth of hole - The probe shaft is calibrated to measure depth drilled.

The 'easy' solution for finding tendon ducts and 'hidden' layers of rebar using a simple and reliable detection method.

Using the Elcometer Protovale 331 Covermeter, identify an area between the first layers of rebar - allowing you to drill a hole with a large enough diameter to fit the shaft of the Elcometer Borehole Probe.

The Elcometer Borehole Probe is then carefully pushed into the hole and information about the 'hidden' reinforcement, either (a) to the side of, or (b) in front of, the end of the probe, can be determined - see diagram. By rotating the probe and selecting the forwards or sideways sensing mode, reinforcement lying below the first layer of rebar can be quickly located.

By increasing the depth of the hole (if possible), and re-inserting the probe as necessary, the operator can quickly find steel rebars or tendon ducts deep within the concrete
