Charlotte Mechanical – Ceilo Apartments, Park Rd., Charlotte, NC

Charlotte Mechanical requested Ground Penetrating Radar Systems on site at the Ceilo project on Park Road in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Charlotte Mechanical needed to cut out 3 trenches in the Post-Tensioned Concrete slab on grade.  Ground Penetrating Radar is the ideal technology to use for this application since it requires no radiation, and can image concrete with access to only one side of the slab.  Jeff Dehart of GPRS Inc has over 2 years of experience as a certified GPR technician, and in addition holds Level 1 certification from the Post Tension Institute. 

This is a very clear section of Ground Penetrating Radar data taken from the Ceilo project in Charlotte, NC.  It shows 2 electrical conduits buried at the bottom of a concrete slab on grade, in between 2 uniform Post-Tensioned Cables.

This photo from the Ceilo project in Charlotte, NC shows the layout of the conduit and Post-Tensioned cables on the concrete.  This layout was done as the scanning was taking place.  With GPR there is no need to wait for the scanning to be processed, on most projects you will be able to cut safely as soon as the technician has finished scanning each location
