Introduction Concrete scanning with GPR is a non-destructive method of concrete inspection. Find answers to the most common questions asked on Ground Penetrating Radar concrete scanning.

How does GPR scanning of concrete work?

Ground-penetrating radar uses electromagnetic waves to inspect the concrete structure. A transmitter antenna sends the electromagnetic signals, electromagnetic waves hit the objects and reflect back, and these reflected signals are received by the receiver antenna. These reflected signals are used to obtain the graph. A GPR engineer interprets the graph to find out the location and type of the utility.

Does GPR directly tell about the type of utility?

No, a GPR does not tell about the type of utility. A GPR engineer uses experience and knowledge to interpret the type of utility and its location in the structure.

What can GPR detect?

The advanced GPR systems can detect PVC, air voids, rebars, steel, and plastic. The cost of GPR scanning varies from $500 to $1000.

What are the factors that determine the accuracy of the GPR scanning?

The accuracy of the GPR scanning depends on a variety of factors, such as the capability of the GPR, the presence of obstacles in concrete structures, and the interpretation skills of the GPR engineer.
