The StructureScan™ Mini is GSSI’s all-in-one GPR system for concrete inspection. This hand held system locates rebar, conduits, post-tension cables, voids and can be used to determine concrete slab thickness in real-time.

The StructureScan Mini safely locates metallic and non-metallic targets within concrete structures up to a depth of 20 inches. The system incorporates an auto target feature that marks the detection of features of interest. This function also estimates the depth of targets and automatically adjusts the depth scale.

The StructureScan Mini is offered in two versions— the original or the StructureScan Mini with 3D.

Typical Uses for StructureScan Mini Include:

  • Concrete inspection – locate metallic and non-metallic targets in walls, floors and ceilings
  • Structure inspection – bridges, monuments, walls, towers, tunnels, balconies, garages, decks
  • Condition assessment – map relative concrete condition for rehab planning
  • Measure slab thickness
  • Void location

GSSI offers several optional software packages that allow users to post-process StructureScan Mini data for further interpretation.

RADAN™ for StructureScan Mini

RADAN for StructureScan Mini is a post-processing software package for the StructureScan Mini Series. It is designed to process, view, and document 2D and 3D data collected with the StructureScan Mini and StructureScan Mini HR. The software features bold and intuitive menu screens and clear data views for easy interpretation and enhanced post-processing capabilities.

Data Processing And Annotation

  • Processing of 3D data sets collected with the StructureScan Mini and Mini HR
  • 3D target input – customize size and color of targets
  • Virtual 3D borehole
  • Multiple color table and transform options
  • Windows® 7 based user-interface

Visualization

  • Background Removal filtering
  • Data Migration (focusing)
  • Gain (Contrast) Control
  • Use Ground Truth for accurate depth calculations

Report Building

  • Report Writer – custom report output using MS Excel
  • Copy data images to third party software for documentation purposes
  • Add targets as colored circles and export target information in an Excel format
  • Save data images as a JPG file
  • Print to all Windows supported printers
