GPR Project @ The Palms Hotel, Miami, FL

When The Palms Hotel of Miami Beach, FL needed to determine the presence of reinforcing steel and conduit in the existing floors prior to continuing the renovation of The Palm Hotel they contacted GPRS, Inc of Miami, FL. Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, Inc. has used their equipment to perform similar surveys with great success and was confident they would be able to provide the results The Palms Hotel was looking for. 

On site GPRS surveyed 6 different areas to locate the presence of rebar and conduits.  They made field markings of the findings and relayed the information to the site contacts for The Palms Hotel.  Ground penetrating radar is a great tool for determining the presence of reinforcing steel and conduits in concrete floors because of the equipments portability and ease of use.  These pieces of information were critical to project moving forward without disturbing the current hotel guests and operations.  Overall the project was a success and The Palms were highly satisfied with the information and data ground penetrating radar was able to provide on their project.
