Carter Electric
Company Concrete Scanning
Project - Orlando, FL
 GPRS,
Inc was contacted by Carter Electric Company about locating
electrical conduits beneath the concrete slab of a Guess
Factory Store. Carter planned to remove the concrete
in three small areas which required saw cutting. They
contacted Ground Penetrating
Radar Systems to make sure that they did
not cut through any electrical conduit that could be
running through the slab. Chris Moore with GPRS
mobilized to the site and surveyed the three small areas
using both ground penetrating radar and radio detection.
The concrete was found to be roughly 6 inches thick
and it contained a 6”x6” wire mesh. There
were no conduits
found in or just below the concrete and Carter Electric
was given the “all-clear” to continue with
the saw cutting and concrete removal.
 Electrical
conduit locating prior to saw cutting and core drilling
is a common application for GPR.
Our 1500MHz antenna will attain accurate data to a depth
of 20-24” thus revealing any conduit in or just
below the concrete. In addition, GPRS
has recently added Radio Detection to its conduit locating
services. Radio Detection is ideal for locating live
power. With both of these tools GPRS
can now say they provide the highest possible assurance
that no conduit will be struck during your next concrete
or utility project.
Chris Moore runs our operations in the
state of Florida. He is based in central Florida and
he can be reached at (727)420-3292 or by email at chris.moore@gp-radar.com.
