Question 1

What is GPR concrete scanning?

Accepted Answer

GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) concrete scanning is a non-destructive testing method that uses electromagnetic pulses to locate reinforcement steel, post-tension cables, electrical conduits, pipes, voids, and other embedded objects within concrete structures. It provides real-time results without damaging the concrete.

Question 2

Why do I need concrete scanning before cutting or coring?

Accepted Answer

Concrete scanning before cutting or coring is essential to identify hidden services and structural elements. Striking a post-tension cable can cause catastrophic structural failure. Hitting electrical conduits creates serious safety hazards. Scanning identifies safe zones for penetration, preventing costly damage, project delays, and safety incidents.
