Concrete scanning with groundpenetrating radar is the latest technology in utility locations, which has several benefits over the traditional method. However, scanning requires professionals who can accurately interpret the results of a GPR scan.

Someofthebenefits

are: Embedded electrical services Reinforcing steel Voids Analysis

EMBEDDEDELECTRICAL SERVICES

Accurately detecting electrical conduits embedded is important when cutting concrete in commercial locations. In addition to the repair amount, damaged electrical services can result in power outages and pose a safety hazard for workers. www.concreteinsight.com

REINFORCING STEEL

Once technicians find rebar and post-tension cables in concrete scanning with GPR, they mark these locations directly on the slab. These marks confirm that workers can drill into the concrete without compromising its structural integrity or needing to perform repairs afterward.

Voids

Technicians also require training and experience locating voids, including empty spaces in the grade and subgrade below the concrete.

Analysis

Concrete scanning is important for examining the contents of a concrete structure. This involves the thickness of the concrete itself and information about the rebar, such as its spacing and depth in the concrete.

Contact Us Concrete scanning serves various purposes in construction, especially for older structures that lack current plans. In addition, the ability to detect internal elements is highly valuable during renovation when workers often must cut into existing concrete.
