GPR Scanning

Scanning for suitable drilling locations.

GPR Scanning

This non-destructive testing technique allows you to inspect the interior of concrete structures BEFORE you drill, cut or core without requiring the evacuation of personnel.

GPR scanning is also used to:

  • Locate rebar – map rebar spacing and depth in concrete, including slab-on-grade with multiple layers of rebar/other embedded elements
  • Locate conduit – map plastic and metal conduits with precision to avoid damage when drilling, cutting, or coring through concrete
  • Locate post-tension cables – map post-tension cables with precision to avoid damage when drilling, cutting, or coring through post-tensioned concrete
  • Measure slab thickness – determine and record the slab thickness for both slab-on-grade and suspended slabs, determine rebar depth to measure concrete cover in slabs, beams, and columns
  • Map underground utility – locate buried utilities to a depth of several meters, detect metals, plastics, and fiber optics to eliminate unnecessary digging and accidental damage
  • Locate voids – locate voids under concrete structures, behind walls, in tunnels, etc.
