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 […]

Before cutting, drilling, or coring into concrete, it’s important to know what’s beneath the surface. Commercial and industrial concrete slabs can contain utilities, conduits, pipes, post-tension cables, and rebar that may not be visible or accurately documented. Scanning for rebar with ground penetrating radar (GPR) provides a non-destructive way to locate reinforcing steel and other […]
