GPR What Is It And How Can It Save Me Money?

Ground Penetrating Radar is a non-destructive method for locating objects buried in concrete. Originally developed to locate land mines, it has been adapted for use in concrete to locate tendons, rebar and conduit. GPR uses an antennae equipped with a transmitter and a receiver. Because of this, we only need access to one side of the concrete surface, eliminating the time it takes to place a film on the other side. In the picture to the left, you can see where we were called in to locate the rebar in an area approximately 6 ft x 6 ft. We were able to complete the area pictured in approximately one hour. An area this size would require approximately 36 shots using concrete x-ray, costing around $10,000. We were able to complete the work for about 5% of the cost.

Concrete Inspection

We can inspect concrete walls, bridges, decks, floors, slabs, tunnels, balconies, garages, pan deck or Robinson deck. We have been called out to hospitals, commercial buildings, casinos, restaurants, schools, bridges, theaters, parking structures and homes to locate post tension cables, electrical conduits and rebar. Due to the harmful effects of radiation, concrete x-ray must be done at night or on the weekends when the jobsite is evacuated. Using Ground Penetrating Radar, we can do our work in the midst of everyone else, eliminating the cost of evacuating tenants, students, patients, employees or other workers on the jobsite. Concrete can be inspected up to a depth of 18 inches. We perform our services for contractors and subcontractors, including: electricians, plumbers, fire protection companies, iron workers, testing labs, architects and engineers. We are certified technicians ready to assist you. Contact us now…
