Cutting and coring experts and
other construction professionals often need a reliable way to
non-destructively locate targets within concrete structures prior
to drilling, cutting or coring. GPR is the most versatile
tool available for these professionals due to accuracy, ease-of-use
and safety.
With GSSI’s high-resolution antennas, even small targets
are located in real-time and can
be seen to depths of 18 inches
or more. Only single sided access is required to perform
GPR surveys, and thousands of square feet can be inspected in
one day. This method is
also extremely safe and does not
require evacuating areas as with radiography (X-ray), which shuts
down other trades working within the vicinity. X-ray can
not find non-metallic utilities buried within concrete like GPR
technology can, and measuring depth of targets with X-ray can
be difficult.
Concrete Professionals Use GPR For:
- Concrete inspection – locating metallic and non-metallic
targets in walls, ceilings
and floors (rebar, tension cables,
conduits, PVC pipes, and more)
- Structure inspection – bridges, towers, tunnels, balconies,
garages, decks,
columns, slabs, monuments
- Condition assessment – map concrete condition for rehab
planning
- Measure slab thickness
- Void location
