GE Healthcare & NY Presbyterian Hospital

On this particular project GPR meet with both GE and the Presbyterian Hospital to explain the advantages of ground penetrating radar over using x-ray and the process of performing GPR.

Our scope of work was to scan the areas where anchors would be installed for the new GE imaging equipment.  Exact placement of the equipment had not yet been determined.  So we were able to scan the entire room which will allow flexibility for the installation of the machine.  Our technician marked the four corners of the area scanned and marked all the findings directly onto the surface for future review.   There were two conduits that ran across the room near the entrance that needed to be avoided when making penetrations. By using GPRS for this installation GE was able to ensure a flawless install, provide safety to the workers, prevented costly repairs of cutting a high voltage conduit.  The NY Presbyterian was pleased with the results allowing them to have flexibility in the equipment placement and the peace of mind there electric service would not be cut or interrupted

We used the Sir 3000 attached to the 1600MHz antenna to find all the hyperbolas in the slab.  After marking out our findings we used our RD7000 equipment to identify which were electrical conduits.
