Ground Penetrating Radar for Concrete Scanning
and Inspection

• In order to find hidden underground issues, like
  faulty plumbing or termite infestations, you need
  Ground Penetrating Radar services from a company
  with many years of experience in this field. With
  reliable concrete scanning from experts who know
  what theyre doing, you can feel confident that
  your home or buildings foundation isnt
  compromised and that no hidden problems are going
  unaddressed. Heres how you can get the best GPR
  services available to help you resolve any
  concrete scanning concerns today!
• Concrete is one of our most common building
  materials, but its not all created equal. A
  variety of factors are needed to produce
  high-quality concrete. When used in pavement
  construction, for example, quality can be
  incredibly important due to traffic weight on top
  of it. Using GPR scanning for concrete can give
  you much-needed insight into whats beneath your
  feet so you know if you have a crack in your
  foundation or a fracture in your sidewalk before
  they cause major damage to your home or business.

What is GPR?

• Ground penetrating radar, or GPR, is an imaging
  technology that has been used in a wide range of
  industries, but most commonly in utilities. A GPR
  system works by sending out radio waves into
  underground structures. When these radio waves
  hit an object underground (such as a utility
  line), they reflect back to a receiver on top of
  your vehicle. The object then appears as an image
  on a screen which you can view through binoculars
  or goggles. This type of concrete scanning has
  many benefits including being non-destructive and
  able to be used day or night. Because it doesnt
  involve physically digging up pipes or cables
  while using GPR scanning, it also limits safety
  hazards while increasing accuracy of locating
  whats below ground level.

What is GPR Good For?

• GPR is a non-invasive surface penetrating radar
  technique thats perfect for concrete scanning.
  It can be used to detect voids, cracks,
  anomalies, rebar corrosion, or any number of
  other problems you need to monitor or verify
  during construction projects. With GPR, you can
  immediately assess whether there are problems
  with a structure without actually having to tear
  anything apart. This saves time and money on
  jobsites when compared to traditional probing
  techniques.
• How Can I Use GPR?
• Once you have your GPR equipment, how do you use
  it? One of my favorite uses of ground penetrating
  radar is concrete scanning. Before installing any
  electrical conduits or construction materials
  into concrete, its a good idea to scan its
  inside structure. This can help ensure that
  theyre installed correctly. If there are voids
  within your concrete foundation walls, moisture
  could leak through those cracks and cause serious
  damage in your home or office later on down the
  road. What type of surface penetrates? GPR was
  originally designed to penetrate solid surfaces
  (such as earth) with electromagnetic pulses to
  determine sub-surface content.

What Does It Do Better Than Other Technologies?

• Unlike other concrete scanning methods such as
  ultrasonic or magnetic induction, ground
  penetrating radar is capable of identifying a
  greater range of problems in concrete structures.
  For example, even if there are no visual cracks
  on a slabs surface, GPR can still find signs of
  settlement or voids beneath that surface which
  could lead to cracking. In addition to revealing
  structural flaws invisible to other scanning
  technologies, GPR can also detect many materials
  found inside buildings. Materials like rebar,
  which makes up most concrete reinforcement bars,
  are not visible under any other technology
  currently available.
