GPRS Concrete Scanning
On site, GPRS was able to identify all the obstructions quickly and accurately. They marked them on the surface of the slab indicating post-tension cables and conduits. GPRS then collaborated with the contractor, as to the best places to drill to avoid striking a conduit or a post-tension cable. The project was a success and why radar is “The New Way to X-Ray”. Ron Anderson runs GPRS operations in the South Florida area. He can be reached at (305) 801-4138 or by email at ron.anderson@gp-radar.com. Concrete scanning for the purposes of identifying the location of rebar, post-tension cables, beams and electrical conduits is a very frequent service performed by the GPR technicians at GPRS Inc. Ron Anderson from GPRS clearly marked all post-tension cables directly on the slab.

A contractor needed to drill penetrations through an elevated slab with post-tension cables and embedded electrical conduits to install electrical lines. The area that needed to be scanned, using ground penetrating radar, was located in a condominium master bedroom on the 3rd floor. Thus they contacted specialists in concrete scanning, GPRS. This is an ideal application for ground penetrating radar as conduits and post-tension cable locating are GPR specialties. GPRS, Inc. in South Florida took the call and mobilized to the site.
