Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is the only safe, non-invasive tool for detecting objects in concrete. GPR can locate rebar, post-tensioning cable, conduits, heating lines, and other objects within concrete to help your project avoid potentially costly accidents when cutting or drilling. GPR can also provide estimates of object depth, which other tools cannot, and slab thickness.

Advantages of GPR over X-Ray for concrete imaging:

GPR is same for humans, unlike radiation from X-rays.
GPR only needs access to one side of the concrete slab, while X-ray requires access to both sides. (GPR imaging can even be done from below, on ceilings!)
GPR can differentiate between conduits carrying electrical energy and rebar or other objects.
GPR can provide depth estimates for rebar, PT cable, and conduit as well as slab thickness.
GPR can identify voids below concrete slabs, essential for structural assessments.

With our expertise in GPR solutions, we can provide concrete imaging for buildings, on exterior and interior walls, floors, and ceilings. It is possible to determine the grouting conditions of CMU wall as well as voids beneath concrete slabs.

Other applications that we’ve provided include assessing rebar corrosion on bridges and concrete panels in roadways. Our concern is safety first, and getting the most from your data to help your project work proceed as quickly and smoothly as possible!
