Task
Locate potential voids in the floors of multiple apartments and hallways throughout the complex
PROBLEM
- An apartment complex in Austin, Texas was experiencing foundational sagging and water leaks
- They believed it was due to voids in their concrete slabs
- They needed to identify the location of the potential voids quickly as unaddressed concrete voids can lead to complete structural failure
Solution
- GPRS Project Managers scanned the requested areas with ground penetrating radar over the course of two weeks
- They used tape for temporary markings to avoid causing panic among residents
- Along with a Job Summary Report, the client received a formal report that included extra detail on their findings and was checked by the GPRS training department to confirm the results
Benefits
- GPRS Project Managers maintain <0.2% at-fault incident rate on concrete scanning jobs, so the client can rely on the results
- The extra detail presented in the formal reports gave the client sufficient information to properly assess and fix the affected areas
- The client called the PM who worked on the project to inform him that his results helped them prepare a plan to fix the situation and prevent further structural damage
