Locating Steel Reinforcement In Concrete
- Rochester, NY

BLM Construction is currently working on a large renovation project at an office building in downtown Rochester, and as part of this needed to drill through the concrete flooring in order to run pipes through to the level beneath. Since BLM always use Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, LLC. prior to drilling or cutting into concrete to ensure they will not damage the reinforcing steel or any conduit under the surface they gave GPRS, LLC. a call.

Jim Bell of the Upstate, NY office, which focuses on the Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Ithaca, and Albany markets mobilized to the site and was able to quickly detect and lay out the lines running through the proposed drilling locations. Jim and the GPR were able to complete this project in real time and with none of the radiation concerns that come with using x-ray to locate tensioned cables or rebar. Ground Penetrating Radar Systems has the ability to locate and map out rebar, post-tension and conduit prior to saw cutting and trenching.
