concrete scanning

 Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a geophysical method that uses electromagnetic radar pulses to image the subsurface. This is a nonintrusive, nondestructive method of scanning or surveying the subsurface to investigate underground existence of rebar, slab supporting beams, conduits, voids, and post tension cable.

 A concrete slab foundation is a common structural element of modern buildings, consisting of a flat, horizontal surface made of cast concrete. Steel-reinforced concrete foundations can typically range between 3 inches and 24 inches of thickness or more.

We have years of experience performing concrete scanning, determining the different designs used on slab foundations. Without proper inspection, drilling or cutting into the slab can be catastrophic to the structure. A severed Post Tension Cable can rip up through a slab and cause structural damages, cosmetic damages, and possibly bodily injury. 

Cutting into a Concrete Support Beam damages the strength and integrity of the concrete. The information gained from a GPR Inspection is instrumental in assisting Contractors  to avoid creating new problems. Problems, which will cost more money and time than obtaining a GPR inspection initially.
