Ground Penetrating Radar Systems was contacted by a contractor to locate post tension in a slab in an office building. The contractor was going to core drill two holes to put conduit through. They were not allowed to hit any of the post tension due to the structural integrity of the slab and the safety issues that can come with striking post tension. The customer also wanted GPRS to locate any conduit.
Ground Penetrating Radar Systems used a GSSI 1600 MHz antenna for this application to locate the reinforcement and conduits. All findings were marked directly on the concrete at customers request for easy interpretation. GPR was ideal for this application due to the active work site in the surrounding areas. GPR emits no radiation and is safe for others to work in the area near the scan location.
