GPR CONCRETE SCANNING

Save your business time and money with advanced concrete x-raying technology.

What is GPR?

GPR concrete scanning is non-destructive concrete scanning method widely used in the building and construction industry. GPR is a portable device that conducts real-time analysis of concrete without the need to probe or core through surfaces. Work areas can be inspected to identify hidden features that could pose a danger to workers or cause damage to machinery or structures.

The end results are high resolution 2D and 3D images giving the ability to look through the slab. Top down and cross-sectional views can be seen and show features running in different directions and at different depths. Measurements, imaging and mapping are provided, giving the ability to select clear paths for coring and cutting.

How Does GPR Work?

A GPR has three key components – a control unit, antenna and power supply. A geophysical method of data collection, GPR sends high-frequency radio-wave (radar) pulses into materials to record the time and strength of the reflected signal.

These pulses determine subsurface variations such as voids, cracks, changes in material and objects, whether metal, plastic, pipes or cables. Faster, simpler and more cost effective than concrete x-raying, GPR surveys concrete rapidly and accurately allowing you to see what’s inside or beneath.

Where Can GPR Be Used?

GPR concrete scanning is suitable for commercial, industrial and residential inspections. Some of the applications include:

Concrete structure inspections
Locate and map reinforcing support structures
Locate water and gas pipes
Underground storage tank and void detection
Locate electrical cables/conduits
