When Cleveland Cement needed to saw cut
trenches at the Marymount Sports Health Clinic in Garfield
Heights, OH, they first called GPRS,
Inc. to locate conduits and pipes under the concrete. GPRS arrived
the next day and scanned 8 areas totaling approximately
2,000 sq. ft. GPRS uses ground penetrating radar to locate conduits inside
of concrete slabs and under slabs on grade. GPRS technicians also use an RD-4000 utility locator to locate
live power and communications lines and to double check
their findings.

Jamie is using the GPR concrete imaging system to locate electrical conduits
that are intersecting the path of saw cutting
at a construction project in Cleveland, OH. |
Jamie Althauser was able to locate electrical
conduits under the concrete at this project. Our services
proved to be especially valuable for Cleveland Cement
because many of these conduits were in contact with
the bottom of the slab and would have been easily severed
if the cutting were to have taken place without the GPR inspection. GPRS marked
the exact locations of the conduits onto the surface
of the concrete along with depths and the concrete thickness
to assist the saw cutters.

Concrete imaging for the location of electrical conduits
prior to saw cutting is a common application for our GPR technicians.
