Using Thermography for Masonry NDT

[Thorbo]

Has anyone else out there used thermography for verifying grout fill in CMU walls? I have done a couple projects in this area now and the results are excellent. And if so, with this type of result, as an Architect or Structural PE why wouldn't you want to do it on every CMU wall to guarantee the integrity of the structure as designed?

It's a well established application. Lot of companies use it. Others aren't as smart.
