Task

Conduct concrete scanning services to clear coring locations in a high-rise’s concrete slabs.

PROBLEM

  • A concrete coring company needed to core through slabs in a high-rise office building
  • The building engineer required concrete X-ray be conducted prior to coring, but the concrete coring company did not trust the results of the X-ray investigation or a subsequent ground penetrating radar investigation conducted by another company
  • The X-ray company told the contractor that the slabs were post-tensioned
  • The contractor on the job spent $30,000 on these investigations

Solution

  • GPRS demonstrated to the engineer the accuracy of our precision concrete scanning services
  • The GPRS Project Manager identified where the concrete coring company could safely penetrate the slabs and confirmed that they were not post-tensioned
  • Findings were marked directly and clearly on the slabs, with Green Boxes indicating safe coring locations

Benefits

  • The coring company completed their work without damaging the building’s slabs
  • All workers and civilians on-site were protected from the dangerous consequences of striking a buried conduit or other embedded item
  • The contractor can stop spending money on investigations that leave them with more questions than answers
