GPRS Scans Beauty Salon Prior to Coring - Chicago, IL

"The Beauty of Scanning"

     

The beauty of scanning is that you don’t hit anything! It’s not all that often we have the chance to see the finished product installment after our work is done, but it sure is nice to see that everything was installed safe and smoothly.

For this particular project Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS) was contacted by a general contractor for some night time scans at an Ulta Beauty store. This store was unlike most because it was built on a suspended slab over a retention pond. Needless to say this required some clearing prior to coring. “Time is a primary currency traded on any given construction project. At Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, our everyday efficiency in operations allows us to respond to the immediate needs of our customers, often within 24 hours or less.” (gprsinc.com)

Scan before you plan! This ensures worker safety and saves valuable time by targeting specific areas of concern. GPRS can also provide GPS reports overlaid on Google Earth or overlay information on pre-existing CAD files for future building plans. This is all done in a safe, time efficient, non-destructive manner.

GPRS assists by giving a real-time depth view of subsurface hazards such as reinforcing, utilities, conduit, underground storage tanks, voids, etc. This reduces the likelihood of subsurface obstruction strikes during core drilling, saw cutting, trenching, soil boring, directional drilling, anchoring, and other sub-surface applications.

Ground Penetrating Radar Systems uses the GSSI (Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.) Sir-4000 technology in locating. GPRS also uses the RD-8100 Locator to locate live power and radio frequency (RF) signals underground. We can also detect utilities in or under concrete via induction or conduction with an exposed or known surface utility line.
