Rebar Locating in Beams - South Florida

A General contractor needed to core drill holes in the concrete beams to install new conduits. The concrete area that needed to be scanned, using ground penetrating radar, was a new concrete beam. Thus they contacted the concrete specialists in rebar locating, Matt Rankin of GPRS. This application, rebar 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 rebar, quickly and accurately. After scanning the concrete, we marked the rebar on the surface. GPRS then collaborated with the general contractor, as to the depth and location of the rebar. The advantage to radar compared to X-Ray is that radar can locate the rebar from the surface of the ground, without dangerous radiation. The project was a success and why radar is “The New Way to X-Ray”.

Matt Rankin runs GPRS operations in the South Florida area. This includes Vero Beach to Miami. He can be reached at (561)252-6132 or matt.rankin@gp-radar.com. Locating rebar is a very frequent service performed by the GPR technicians at GPRS, LLC.
