Featured Story:
 GPRS Concrete Imaging
at Project Total Electric Service
in the Tampa International Airport
in Tampa, Florida
Total Electric Service had a project going in one of the terminals at the Tampa International Airport. During the project, it became clear that they would need to core drill through the concrete floor at several of the gates inside of the terminal. Total Electric Service knew that the terminal structure contained post-tension cable and had the possibility to contain live conduits. In order to safely drill these locations without risking compromising the structure or putting the driller in danger, they decided to contact Jim James with Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS) to see what type of locating service they could provide.
