GPR Concrete Scanning: What is it?
Updated: Oct 7
Understanding Concrete Scanning
GPR concrete scanning is the use of ground penetrating radar to scan and map the embedded elements of concrete. This is done before cutting, coring, or breaking concrete, as well as for survey results to understand the internal structure of concrete. Concrete scanning is your best tool to help prevent damage and work safely.
Why Concrete Scanning?
Safety is #1
Safety is always the most important consideration on any job. If you can’t do it safely, it isn’t worth doing. Concrete scanning ensures that you aren’t damaging the structure of a building or piece of infrastructure as well as helping avoid contact with utilities. Striking a high voltage line embedded in concrete can be hazardous and potentially life threatening. Ensuring you scan your concrete before cutting is standard practice and gives you peace of mind.
Cost and Time Efficiency
Damages cost time and money: simple as that. Preventing damage is not only a best practice, but it will save you money. Repairs to structural or utility components embedded in concrete can come with repair bills in the hundreds of thousands! To save yourself time, hassle, and money, always scan your concrete before you cut!
Applications of Concrete Scanning
Concrete scanning is versatile and applicable in various scenarios, including:
Pre-Construction Assessment: Our technicians can provide surveys of large areas to ensure that your pre-planning avoid costly redesigns down the road.
On-Demand Service: We work with all levels of trades to ensure that project run smoothly. As projects develop and change, concrete scanning is a critical tool in ensuring success.
Post Project Confidence: Knowing what’s inside your concrete will help you understand future projects. As plans change, you need to be able to adapt. Concrete scanning can help you understand your projects better and set up future success.
Void detection: Locating and mapping voids within or beneath concrete slabs to address potential structural issues.
Planning to incorporate concrete scanning at all levels of a project from pre-planning to post completion analysis helps keep you on track to succeed.
