Proceq Resipod Concrete Resistivity Meter

TRSC uses the Resipod on condition assessment engagements where corrosion-likelihood mapping is required to complement chloride profiling and half-cell potential surveys. The combination of chloride profile (ion concentration), half-cell potential (corrosion thermodynamic state) and resistivity (corrosion kinetic rate) is the standard three-test framework for quantitative reinforcement-corrosion assessment, and TRSC reports all three measurements in tandem on facade and marine investigations. Operational notes: surface conditions matter — saturated or wet concrete shows lower resistivity (closer to corrosion-supporting range) than the same concrete in dry conditions, so TRSC documents the surface moisture state at each measurement and correlates results to the AS 3600 / EN 206 environment classification. Wet-bond contact between the four electrodes and the concrete is essential — the standard method involves spraying the surface with a fine water mist immediately before measurement to ensure contact, and TRSC follows this procedure consistently. The Resipod export to Proceq Inspect supports parallel survey integration with Profometer cover-depth and Pundit UPV data on the same dataset, reducing transcription error on multi-method investigations. Recent deployment includes Marina Mirage marine concrete investigation (resistivity mapping correlated with chloride profiling) and 12 Creek Street facade survey. The Resipod is also TRSC's standard repeat-survey instrument for chloride-monitoring engagements where periodic re-survey of the same locations supports a residual-life trajectory calculation — successive resistivity values, combined with successive chloride profile measurements, give a defensible empirical basis for forward-projecting the time-to-corrosion-initiation rather than relying on default first-principles models alone — a methodology that has materially extended the certified residual life of several TRSC-assessed marine-environment assets.
