Structure Scan’s GPR Technicians can efficiently reveal obstacles embedded in concrete without interrupting your day-to-day operations. Real-time scans provide exact location and direct read-out enabling your site personnel to make critical on the spot adjustments. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is non-destructive and helps ensure your project is a success.

How GPR works

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) operates by transmitting hi-frequency EM energy into the ground via an antenna. The GPR signal is reflected back to the antenna by materials with contrasting electrical (dielectric and conductivity) and physical properties.

Measure concrete thickness

By measuring the two-way travel time of the radar wave, Structure Scan’s GPR Technicians can determine /confirm slab thickness, concrete cover over steel reinforcement and accurate depth measurements to subsurface targets.

Locate objects embedded in concrete

Structure Scan’s GPR Technicians can quickly and accurately locate rebar, post tension cables, conduits, radiant heating lines and other objects embedded in concrete.

Void detection

Contrasting dielectric properties between air and concrete enable Structure Scan’s GPR Technicians to locate voids beneath asphalt and pavement, and confirm substrate displacement without opening and destroying the integrity of the slab.

3D imaging

Images of data collected can be provided in raw, 2D and 3D formats, by hard copy, e-mail or digital media.

Data digitally archived

Data collected is digitally archived for future reference.

Map location and depth of rebar

An optical survey wheel encoder enables Structure Scan’s GPR Technicians to quickly and accurately map out the depth and location of rebar right on the concrete.

Concrete infrastructure evaluation

By mapping out the strength of reflectors, Structure Scan’s GPR Technicians can quickly and accurately locate areas of concrete deterioration.
