Post-tension Cable Locating - Miami Beach, Florida

A General contractor needed to core drill holes in the concrete to install new electrical lines in a condominium in Miami Beach, Florida. The area that needed to be scanned, using ground penetrating radar, was a multimillion dollar condominium project and was known to be a post tensioned slab. Thus they contacted the specialists in post tension cable locating, Ron Anderson of GPRS. This application, post tension cable locating, is a common job for GPR. GPRS, LLC. in South Florida took the call and mobilized to the site.

On site, GPRS was able to identify the post tensioned cables, quickly and accurately. They marked them on the surface of the ground and provided a report explaining the results. GPRS then collaborated with the general contractor, as to the depth and location of the post tensioned cables. The advantage to radar compared to X-Ray is that radar can locate the post-tension cables from the surface of the ground, without dangerous radiation. The project was a success and why radar is “The New Way to X-Ray”.
