What is Ground Penetrating Radar?
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive scanning method used to locate embedded objects within concrete or below the surface. This technology uses radar signals to detect rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, voids, and other hidden elements.
GPR scanning is essential before cutting or drilling to improve safety, prevent costly damage, and ensure accurate execution.
Common GPR Applications
-
Locating rebar and post-tension cables before cutting or drilling.
-
Identifying electrical conduits and plumbing lines.
-
Determining slab thickness and internal structure.
-
Pre-scanning before saw cutting or core drilling.
-
Subsurface utility detection
-
Preventing costly mistakes and project delays.
