Concrete scanning with GPR
Experts must accurately assess concrete structures using a non-destructive tool. Today, such a tool is GPR scanning. With this radar, our company provides services of scanning walls and slabs in order assessing their structure and rebar location. When cutting concrete wall and slab, the main task is to bypass the reinforcement structures. Our contractor company offers services for rebar scanning. GPR scanning walls and slabs helps to evaluate the internal structure of concrete and the presence of foreign elements in it, as well as the rebar location, as a result of which you get a GPR concrete imaging of a section or a 3D model for assessment.
Radar concrete scanning has several advantages over other methods. First, it is harmless to the environment and ecological balance. Secondly, the GPR scanning wall and slab doesn't require powerful energy sources and is equally effective when scanning horizontal, vertical and inclined surfaces. The main advantage of GPR scanning is accurate transmission of the internal structure and rebar location on imaging while maintaining the integrity of the concrete.
What we can find?
Rebar locating
As a concrete contractor, we can easily find reinforcement in concrete using GPR. This means that in the process of further work, he will not be touched.Conduits
With the help of GPR scanning, we can also locate pipes. This will allow you to plan your work so that you can dig exactly above them.PT Cables
Once you have located them, you can safely continue your work. Therefore, our specific services include locating PT cables using GPR.Electrical Conduits
We can locate electrical conduit in concrete using GPR. This will help you drill safely and not touch the wires.Slab Thickness
We use GPR to estimate the thickness of the slab. This knowledge is very helpful if you need a certain thickness for work.Voids
Voids are formed when concrete is poured and interfere with further work. With the help of GPR, we can track them at the stage of concrete pouring.
FAQ
Is GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) more expensive than X-ray scanning?
No. In fact, scanning walls and slabs with GPR will be even cheaper. Since it doesn’t require additional development of the resulting, for example, developing an X-ray image, everything is done quickly and accurately.
Can GPR tell you the difference between rebar, PT cables, and conduits ?
Of course, you can see it on imaging. This is one of the main functions of radar concrete scanning, and we provide such services to our clients.
What kinds of results can I expect?
1) We make sure to mark on the concrete wall or slab to mark safe areas to work with (eg cutting, drilling, etc.). 2) After computer processing, you can create drawings indicating the dimensions of the scanned area. The highest level of reporting provides a 3D concrete imaging of the scanned area. 3) If required, we can take digital images of our scanned images and email them directly to the engineer / building owner for drilling site approval.
Does GPR scanning pose any health risk, or any threat of interference with radio frequency or electronic equipment?
No. The power emitted by a GPR is a small fraction of the power emitted by a cell phone. And since we don't need to worry about such dangers, we can do our job without interfering with people around us.
What if we have a metal pallet?
The GPR will show a normal profile across the concrete slab and could detect rebar location. It will detect metal underneath, but will not pierce it, so the imaging will show the profile of the part of the slab that is higher than the pallet. We will not be able to see the channel in the deep part of the pallet due to the reflection of the metal.
