The result of a demonstration inspection resulted in a cost savings of over 34.5% with results being
over 7 times more accurate. Manually tested resulted in zero crack of the mandatory size to be
recorded. With Infrastructure Preservation Corporations IPCs Concrete Testing System 7 cracks
were detected and recorded and many more approaching that minimum size.

3. CableScan is the first testing equipment of its kind to perform MRI like inspections of cable stays
of large segmental bridge structures like the yellow cables on the Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg.
There are thousands of cable stay/suspension bridges in the world with inspection costs ranging from
$45,000 to $240,000 per bridge.
4. BridgeScan is IPCs routine Bridge Condition Assessment Inspection system that locates and
quantifies concrete deterioration within a bridge. T he nation's transportation infrastructure is rapidly
aging. T he majority of U.S. bridges, dams, levees and other water control structures are either in their
last 20 to 30 years of their designed service life, or are nearing the end of their service life. There are
601,000 bridges in the F ederal Highway Administration's (FHWA)
National Bridge Inventory System throughout the United States. Conservatively estimating the routine
bridge inspection market alone using the lower inspection average price point of $8,000 per bridge, the
yearly reoccurring inspection revenues for this market is estimated at $3.8 billion dollars. After adding
potential tens of thousands of water control structures, access and exit ramps to bridges, multi-level
parking garages, airport runways, multi-level high-rise building structures, and virtually any other
structure constructed of concrete or steel, the U.S. market for NDT testing services is estimated to be
$25 billion dollars. If IPC were to capture 10% of the U.S. bridge inspection market alone that would
yield IPC $380 million dollars in by-yearly reoccurring revenues.
5. AerialScan is a drone inspection system designed to perform concrete deterioration
assessments and HD video inspections of high profile structures; bridges, communication towers,
utility towers, dams, levees, and other structures that require climbing during inspection. It utilizes multi
spectral infrared technology that locates and quantifies concrete deterioration. T hese structures are
currently being inspected by inspectors that climb and repel along the structure putting their life at risk.
In addition, there are sections of the bridge/structures that are not accessible by these inspectors.
IPCs AerialScan drone inspection system can perform inspections of entire structures in half the
time of existing services.

6. CableView is patented robotic technology and the first testing equipment of its kind to perform
HD video inspections of bridge cablestays. Today, cablestays are inspected by closing traffic, putting a
200 foot crane on the bridge with an inspector being hoisted up and down the stays at night.
CableView can inspect the stays without closing traffic, during the day and without putting an
inspectors life at risk. CableView can inspect these bridges for the same costs the DOTs are
spending today.

ColumnScan is
patented
robotic
technology
and
the
first
testing
equipment
of
its
kind
to
perform
HD
video
inspections
with
multi-spectrum
infrared
technology
to
inspect
the
interior
of
bridge
columns.
Today,
columns
are
inspected
by
lowering
an
inspector
into
a
confine
space
from
another
confine
space.
The
inspector
is
lowered
into
the
column
with
a
breading
apparatus,
a
flashlight
and
a
camera.
ColumnScan can
perform
these
inspections
with
full
HD
video
and
infrared
technology
to
locate
concrete
deterioration
without
lowering
an
inspector
and
putting
life
at
risk.
ColumnScan can
inspect
these
bridges
for
the
same
costs
the
DOTs
are
spending
today.
8.
CrackScan is
an
inspection
system
that
locates
and
measures
cracks
in
concrete
structures
using
a
laser
light
from
a
distance
of
up
to
300
feet.
Today,
crack
inspections
are
performed
by
closing
traffic
and
putting
an
inspector
in
a
bucket
truck
raised
up
40
to
60
feet
to
the
underside
of
a
bridge.
The
inspector
is
moved
along
the
bottom
of
the
bridge
with
a
plastic
measuring
plate
looking
for
cracks.
CrackScan can
sit
on
a
tripod
on
the
side
of
the
bridge,
without
closing
traffic,
and
scan
the
underside
of
the
bridge
measuring
cracks
using
precision
laser
light
without
putting
an
inspectors
life
in
danger.
CrackScan can
inspect
these
bridges
for
the
same
costs
the
DOTs
are
spending
today
with
increased
accuracy.

Secondary
Markets
The
following
sub-segments
are
not
in
the
bridge/road
markets
but
rather
in
the
infrastructure
support
and
railroad
markets.
The
following
are
the
sub-segmental
markets
that
I PC
will
pursue
with
their
same
equipment
and
methodology
as
they
arise:
1.Railroad
industry:
Inspecting
rail
integrity,
ballast,
base
and
sub-base
densities.
2.Public
Works
Departments:
Surface
inspections
of
underground
water
and
sewer
systems
for
damage/leakage
without
digging.
3.Damage
(Forensic)
Assessments:
Inspections
of
any
steel
or
concrete
structure
that
has
been
damaged
by
impact,
fire
or
structures
showing
cracking
due
to
loss
or
unbalanced
of
load
bearing
ability.
4.Utility
Companies:
Inspecting

in
concrete/steel
line
towers,
poles,
foundations,
and
other
