CONCRETE SCANNING

​GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR)
​
GPR SCANNING / CONCRETE SCANNING / REBAR SCANNING / LOCATING REBAR / REBAR SPACING / REBAR DEPTH / CONCRETE INSPECTION / WELDED WIRE MESH / POTENTIAL VOID UNDER SLAB / CONDUITS / CINDER BLOCK (CMU)
​

​Detecting and locating objects or anomalies embedded within the concrete, including but not limited to steel reinforcements, wire mesh, tendons (post-tension cables), electrical metal conduits, pipes, and potential voids beneath slab for structural integrity, as-built verifications and structural assessment for hit prevention (safe drilling, coring, cutting or breaking works), that leads to optimal decision-making in mitigating the risk of hazards, unreasonable constraints or project delays. Scanning also enables the determination of rebar spacing, depths and concrete cover.

By implementing these non-destructive technologies in concrete and with the specialty-trained expertise, extensive technical experience in the field, and interpretation by the GPR engineers, real-time immediate preliminary results are achieved to deliver great help to the contractors, consultants or structural engineers in making decisions about the condition of the structure.
​
Our projects range in size from small concrete layouts to large complex concrete structures. We offer skilled technical proficiency at reasonable pricing, in timeline that fits your needs.

• Non-destructive technologies: enables concrete assessment and quality control of structure to be carried out without damaging the structure;
• Real-time marking of detected subsurface features to enable on-site evaluation, those anomalies are then analyzed to provide insights as to the detected embedded objects beneath surface, further analysis of depths and types of objects to be provided in reports with generated data;
• Enabling the determination of rebar spacing and estimation of concrete cover;
• Allowing the correct planning to stay clear of obstructions or areas that may be damaged during construction, renovation or maintenance;
• Providing you the ability to safely and efficiently drill, core, cut or break while preserving the integrity of the structure and reducing the need for patching or other costly repairs - eliminates accidental cutting and drilling through embedded objects and the high costs required for the repair if cut or damaged;
• Also for renovation preparation that includes electrical outfitting, plumbing, fire protection services, drain installation and duct work;
• And concrete inspection when a structure needs retrofitting due to ageing and or change of use.
