There are various facilities that are required to sustain larger amounts of weight. Whether it’s a manufacturer or production plant or an energy facility. They have to support the weight of everything from heavy equipment to cranes and beyond. When engineers have to plan for something new to come into the project or plant they want to make sure that the facility will be able to withstand the weight. When they need to know what is below the surface most engineers know to call GPRS or Ground Penetrating Radar Systems.
GPRS was hired by a team engineers at a project in Cape Canaveral to analyze several load bearing walls to determine to spacing and presence of rebar. The engineers were planning to place several pieces of heavy machinery to the top of their facility, and they wanted to have the area scanned prior to moving forward with their project.
After arriving on site the GPRS professional walked the site to make sure that nothing was miscommunicated. After assessing the areas the equipment that was selected for use was a GSSI palm antenna and the SIR 3000. This equipment was selected because of the ability it has to scan a bit closer to walls and edges and is helpful when scanning walls and overhead. All of which were needed for this project. The GPRS professional scanned all areas that were pointed out to provide samplings to the engineers. The areas were marked with markers and measurements were taken to confirm the spacing. After all of the data was gathered the information was retained for a report.
Within the week the report was returned to the client so that they could make their assessments and alterations for the design and layout of the equipment to be installed.
