Structural Scanning (Concrete Scanning) offers the means of detecting embedded objects within, and under, a variety of media including concrete, brick, asphalt, and soil. GPR can detect objects, changes in material, as well as voids and cracks.
Disrupting private utilities on a project, causing unnecessary headaches for your clients can be a nightmare, but can also be avoided. Prior to any coring, cutting, digging or drilling, It is important to have a Utility Location Survey performed to avoid any accidental shutdowns, safety hazards, or increased insurance through accidents.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) offers the means to detect embedded or hidden objects within the near subsurface. This non-destructive method uses electromagnetic energy to detect reflected signals from subsurface structures. GPR can be used in a variety of media including concrete, brick, asphalt, and soil. GPR can detect objects, changes in material, as well as voids and fractures.
GPR uses transmitting and receiving antennas. The transmitting antenna radiates short pulses of the high-frequency (usually polarized) radio waves into the surface. When the wavelet hits an embedded object or a boundary with different dielectric constants the receiving antenna records variations in the reflected return signal.

Applications for GPR
- Conduit location
- Reinforcement location
- Post tension cable location
- Slab thickness
- Duct bank location
- Wall and ceiling surveys
- Detection of sub-surface cavities
- Location and orientation of buried metallic objects
