When Lincoln Property Company of Orlando,
FL needed to add parking loops to the entrance and exit
of a parking garage without hitting any post
tensioned cables they contacted GPRS, Inc of
Orlando, FL. The parking loop inserts are imbedded nearly
1” into the concrete and this was cause for concern
as they were told that post
tensioned cables can be buried as shallow as
½”. Thus they contacted ground
penetrating radar specialists, GPRS.
This is an ideal application for ground
penetrating radar as PT Cable and rebar locating
are GPR specialties.
GPRS, Inc. from
Orlando, FL took the call and mobilized to the site.
On site GPRS
was able to identify all of the post
tensioning cables and rebar
quickly and accurately. They marked all of them on the surface
with depth indications to the top of the
rebar or cable.
GPRS then collaborated
with Lincoln Properties as to the best places to install
the parking loops to avoid striking a cable.
The project was a success and radar once again proved its
usefulness on concrete for locating rebars and post tensioned
cables.
Chris Moore runs GPRS
operations in the South Eastern United States. He is based
in Orlando, FL and he can be reached at (727)420.3292 or
by email at chris.moore@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.
Chris is performing a GPR concrete scan
to double check
his marks and ensure they are indeed correct.
