Hands-on Field Training Highlights Advanced PROCEQ Technology from Switzerland
Soil Testing Siam Co., Ltd., a leading distributor of engineering testing instruments and the official representative of PROCEQ, a renowned brand from Switzerland, continues to elevate Thailand’s construction industry by introducing advanced concrete testing technologies through hands-on training and field work experience programs.
The company participated in a Practical Training and Field Work Experience Program aimed at preparing students for the construction industry, held at Phrae Technical College, Mueang Phrae District, Phrae Province, during January–February 2026.
For this training session, the company showcased and demonstrated a full range of world-class concrete and structural testing instruments widely recognized in real-world engineering applications, including:
- The Original Schmidt Hammer – Original Schmidt OS8000
A reliable and highly accurate non-destructive testing (NDT) device for assessing concrete compressive strength, designed for ease of use in on-site quality inspections.
- PROCEQ Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) – GP8000
A real-time radar scanning technology for visualizing internal concrete structures with high clarity and speed, ideal for detecting embedded pipes, reinforcing steel, and internal voids.
- Pundit Ultrasonic Pundit 200
An ultrasonic concrete testing device used to evaluate concrete quality, uniformity, and internal defects.
- Profometer Rebar Diameter & Cover Meter – PM8000
A precision instrument for locating reinforcing bars and measuring concrete cover depth and rebar diameter, suitable for structural inspection prior to repair or rehabilitation works.
The program featured a technical lecture on
“Principles of Concrete Compressive Strength Testing in Accordance with Engineering Standards,”
along with live demonstrations of non-destructive concrete testing, hands-on field practice, and proper analysis and interpretation of test results in compliance with recognized standards. The objective was to enable participants to effectively apply the acquired knowledge in real construction and structural engineering work.
