Fiber optic lines are an essential part of modern telecommunication infrastructure. Often buried underground, the lines are made of thin glass or plastic fibers that carry information in the form of light signals. Why do traditional locating methods struggle to find fiber optic lines? Fiber optic lines have a higher bandwidth than traditional copper wires. […]

While most drivers can spot the telltale signs of a road’s surface starting to crumble, the underlying issues that cause these problems can begin well beneath the surface. Early detection is crucial for road maintenance teams to schedule timely repairs and prevent costly damage. This is where Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology comes into play, […]

When you think of Ground Penetrating Radar, your first image probably has two features. First, the GPR machine is being used on the ground or a slab floor. Second, GPR is being used to search for something, such as an underground void, piping or even old graves. Not all concrete is located on the ground, however, and GPR’s uses go beyond simply finding objects. This is especially the case when it comes to using GPR for bridges.

When a concrete slab at a commercial or infrastructure site is poured, it rarely only contains concrete. Therefore if you need to cut into the concrete you must be prepared for something other than concrete to be waiting for you. Scanning for post-tension cables or other devices uses to provide support for concrete will help […]
