To reduce congestion around the Atlanta International Airport, a new system known as CONRAC is being developed for access to the rental car facilities. As part of the construction process, the builders desired to perform random tests on some of the concrete for the overpass roadway. Mitch Ross of Ground Penetrating Radar Systems was able to perform the required testing on short notice. He used Ground Penetrating Radar to locate the reinforcing steel in the concrete. He also used GPR to locate any possible voids in or under the concrete. Ground Penetrating Radar uses electromagnetic pulses to penetrate concrete and dirt, locating reinforcing steel, voids, and objects like utilities and USTs. GPR operates much like ground penetrating sonar.
Mitch Ross runs GPRS operations in the Atlanta, Georgia area. He can be reached at (404)593-9227 or by email at mitch.ross@gp-radar.com. Concrete scanning for the purposes of identifying the location of rebar and post-tensioning is the most frequent service performed by the GPR technicians at GPRS.
CONRAC overpass support at Atlanta International Airport.
Mitch Ross of Ground Penetrating Radar Systems scans concrete with the GPR to locate the rebar within the concrete.
Mitch Ross of Ground Penetrating Radar Systems will save the data file to produce a report after leaving the job site.
