When Net Jets, a Berkshire Hathaway company decided to
add pillars to the new mezzanine area they had concerns
that the existing concrete would not be thick enough to
support each of the six pillars. In order to accurately
determine the thickness and verify proper steel reinforcing
in the Port Columbus International Airport facility, Net
Jets called, Ground Penetrating Radar Systems in Dayton,
Ohio. On site GPRS was able to precisely identify the
thickness of the concrete slab and determine the flooring
contained adequate reinforcing for the proposed remodel.
Furthermore, because Net Jets was so impressed at the
speed and accuracy of our GOR survey, they asked us to
verify the thickness of the concrete in each of the rooms
in the general hangar and support facility. There is no
radiation hazard associated with GPR, the scanning could
take place during a normal working day without removing
any employees from the premises.
