Structural Scanning

Contact For Services

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
