Concrete Evaluation
GPR is a great tool for concrete evaluation. We can determine concrete deterioration, slab thickness, rebar spacing, bar elevation, and amount of concrete cover over the rebar.
Concrete Imaging is our most frequent application with GPR. Through its use, we are able to physically draw the location of all hidden elements on the slab surface.
Concrete Inspection
GroundPenetratingRadar is a great tool for concrete inspection. We can determine slab thickness, rebar spacing, bar elevation, and amount of concrete cover over the rebar.
Concrete Investigation
Concrete investigations consist of using the ground radar to determine bar placement, elevation of post-tensioning, deterioration surveys, and void detection.
Ground penetrating radar is also known as concrete penetrating radar. We are able to see very clearly inside of concrete slabs to determine the location of structural elements, embedded conduit, and even to find areas of concrete deterioration.
Concrete Slab Inspection
Ground radar is a great tool for concrete slab inspection. We can determine slab thickness, rebar spacing, bar elevation, and amount of concrete cover over the rebar.
Concrete Slab Thickness
Through the use of GPR, we can assess the thickness of concrete pours in a
non-destructive manner."

Concrete Testing
Concrete testing with GPR is often associated with Rebar and Post-Tensioning mapping and determine the presence and location of electrical conduit prior to saw cutting or core drilling.
GPR is often confused with Concrete X-Ray. These are two completely different methods. GPR is much faster and it does not have any safety hazards associated with it. More Advantages...
Geophysical Investigation
A non-invasive method of "looking" into the ground or concrete to determine the presence and location of underground features such as sinkholes and voids, storage tanks, debris, and utilities.
Ground Penetrating Radar
A geophysical tool used to inspect concrete and the ground. In concrete GPR is used to determine the presice location of reinforcing steel (Post-Tensioning and Rebar), embedded electrical conduits, subsurface voids, areas of deterioration, and plumbing conduits.
Landfill Surveys
Ground penetrating radar is commonly used for landfill surveys. The ground radar data will show a difference between undisturbed ground and ground that has been backfilled.
Locate Cables
GPR is a great tool and method to locate cables. The procedure to locate cables is often done on concrete slabs which require core drilling.
Locate Pipes
Ground penetrating radar will locate pipes below the surface, under reinforced concrete, through reinforced concrete walls, under asphalt, and sidewalks.
Locate Rebar
Ground radar is often used to locate rebar. GPR can locate rebar in concrete slabs, walls, columns, beams, etc.
Location of Cables
The location of cables is a common service needed among contractors and engineers in the construction industry. Through the use of GPR, the location of cables can be done in a fast and reliable manner.
Location of Pipes
The location of pipes is a common service needed among contractors and engineers in the construction industry. The location of pipes is typically needed before ground excavations and concrete saw cutting.
Location of Utilities
The location of utilities is one of the most important aspects of pre-construction activity. GPR can accurately map out the location of utilities down to significant depths.
Pipe Locator
 GPR is an excellent tool for locating buried pipe. GPR is able to map the path of subsurface piping and determine the approximate depth to the top of the pipe.
Rebar Imaging
 One of our primary applications with GPR is Rebar Imaging. Before core drilling on a construction site, engineers will often specify that no rebar be cut. GPR is use to plot the location of the rebar onto the concrete surface so the penetrations can be made without comprimising the structural integrity of the building.
Rebar Mapping
 One of our primary applications with GPR is Rebar Imaging. Before core drilling on a construction site, engineers will often specify that no rebar be cut. GPR is use to plot the location of the rebar onto the concrete surface so the penetrations can be made without comprimising the structural integrity of the building.
Sinkhole Investigation
GPR is often used to in the investigation of sinkholes. Often there is no evidence of a sinkhole until it has collapsed. A GPR inspection is a proactive measure to minimize the danger and inconveniences caused by a collapsed sinkhole.
Sinkhole Location
GPR is often used to in the investigation of sinkholes. Often there is no evidence of a sinkhole until it has collapsed. A GPR inspection is a proactive measure to minimize the danger and inconveniences caused by a collapsed sinkhole.
Structural Analysis
GPR is a great tool to assist in structural analysis. Older buildings will frequently be missing structural drawings, GPR can provide outstanding details regarding slab thickness and rebar placement. Through our software, GPR can also determine areas of deterioration in the slabs.
Structural Inspection
Ground radar is a great tool to assist in structural inspection. When no structural drawings are available, ground radar can provide outstanding details regarding slab thickness and rebar placement. It is also a great tool to determine the presence of subsurface voids. Through our software, ground radar can also determine areas of deterioration in the slabs.
Subsurface Imaging
Subsurface Imaging is a common ground penetrating radar application. ground penetrating radar can be used to locate and plot almost any hidden ordinance.
Subsurface Investigation
Ground penetrating radar is common tool used for subsurface investigation. We us ground penetrating radar to discover, track, and investigate many common elements below the surface.
Surface Penetrating Radar
Surface penetrating radar is very similar to ground penetrating radar. It implies that the hidden elements can be revealed from the surface by a ground penetrating radar.
Underground Pipe Location
A common application for GPR is the locating of underground pipes. We use GPR to pinpoint the center of the underground pipe and then plot its course on the surface.
Underground Survey
GPR is frequently used to survey many underground ordinaces. Surveys can then be organized in to a concise report detailing all that was found underground in the survey.
Underground Utility
Underground utilities are any pipe containing gas, water, electric current, or sewage found underground. GPRS specializes in located these utilities on a frequent basis.
Underground Utility Locating GPRS specializes in locating underground utilities and has the capability of plotting them in real time on the surface. We can also put together a comprehensive report stating our findings and provide a plan view of the area.
Underground Utility Locator
GPR is a state of the art underground utility locator. We use GPR to tell you the depth and location of your underground utilities.
UST Location
Ground radar is regularly used for ust location. We can locate ust's without doing any digging and give an accurate location.
UST Search
If you need to perform a UST Search GPR is a great way to find the location without digging.
Utility Locator
We can use GPR as a utility locator and efficiently determine depth and location of many utilities.
Utility Mapping
GPR is a highly efficient way to perform Utility Mapping. It allows us to determine location and depth of utilities.
Void Detection
Void Detection can be accomplished quickly through the use of GPR.
Void Location
GPR can be used for void location under concrete, roads, or in soil. We are able to determine the depth and size of voids.
