How GPR works

A high-frequency radar wave governed by electromagnetic properties is propagated into the ground at a rapid rate. The two-way travel time of the wavelength is measured. The speed of the radar wave is dependent on the material it is penetrating. Anytime the wave passes a boundary (change in physical properties) an anomaly is seen in the data set and can be marked out in real-time by a certified GPR technician.

What GPR in Concrete Scanning can tell you

• Rebar placement and concrete cover
• Locate electrical conduits and in-floor heating lines
• The depth dowelled into the adjoining slab
• Slab thickness
• Detect voids and cavitation under the slab
• Confirm and identify structural components embedded in concrete
• Pile and grade beam placement
• Determine if cinder block walls are hollow or filled with concrete
• Locate post-tension cables
• Detect hollows in pre-tensioned, pre-cast, hollow-core panels without removing the topping/carpet
