Civil, Road and Bridge
With rising concerns about infrastructure in the US, the construction spend in this sector is on the rise. Last year in the US, construction in the civil, road and bridge infrastructure realm was estimated to be over $350 billion. Recently, the ASCE gave the United States a D+ rating when it comes to the deteriorating conditions of our nation’s roads, bridges, transit and water systems. As America begins to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, GPRS is uniquely positioned to assist on all fronts. Over the past 20 years, our team has built up experience scanning dowels on highway projects, mapping rebar and concrete cover on bridges, and locating utilities around mass transit systems. As the government continues to make commitments in regards to the upgrade of US infrastructure, GPRS is ready to use our expertise to begin to assist in the rebuild.
GPRS is able to provide critical data for the infrastructure rebuilding process in the United States. When working with railroad, light-rail, or other mass transit assets – GPRS can provide important information regarding the location of underground utilities. Our concrete scanning services can provide answers to questions regarding concrete thickness and concrete cover, rebar placement and layout, and dowel placement. 3D laser scanning services deliver accurate as-builts, point clouds, 2D CAD drawings, and 3D BIM models of architectural, structural, and MEP system layout and dimensions for existing sites. Further, our Video Pipe Inspection department can use CCTV and push cameras to map the location and even the interior condition of water and sewer pipes, lateral lines and even map the location where repairs are needed. GPRS delivers accurate information that can be used in the planning process. GPRS can give you the information you need by providing reports and drawings, CAD or MicroStation drawings, satellite image overlays, maps and sketches of subsurface facilities and reinforcement. Let’s rebuild America, together.
GPRS Delivers Complete Infrastructure Visualization
GPRS is the only company in the U.S. that can capture your entire site or facility, above and below-ground, to provide you with accurate as-builts, private and public utility maps, 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, virtual tours, WinCan reports, and more documenting architectural, structural, MEP, and subsurface utility existing conditions, and instantly deliver data via SiteMap®, GPRS’ cloud-based digital storage software and app.
Utility Locating Services
GPRS utility locating services utilize ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) locating technology to locate, mark, and map existing underground infrastructure such as power lines, gas lines, pipelines, water lines, sewer lines, potential voids, and additional buried facilities and utility lines. This information is critical for projects where construction or excavation activities are planned to mitigate accidental utility strikes, plus keep your team and facility safe. GPRS delivers complimentary CAD utility site maps in PDF, KMZ, and SHP file formats, and can export your utility data into a wide variety of drawings, maps, and models to advance communication and collaboration on your project. All clients receive instant access to complete and aggregated site records in Sitemap® GPRS’ digital storage software and app, where data is geolocated, layered, and securely shareable.
Concrete Scanning Services
Concrete scanning is a non-destructive method to assess concrete using GPR to locate, identify, and mark utilities and objects such as rebar, post tension cables, beams, conduits, and piping embedded within concrete slabs and structures prior to anchoring, cutting, coring, and drilling. Concrete scanning ensures the safety of workers and prevents accidents by identifying potential hazards before any work occurs. Concrete markings can be 3D laser scanned to create a permanent record of the site, data can be delivered in 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, and virtual site tours.
3D Laser Scanning Services
GPRS 3D laser scanning services document the exact architectural, structural, and MEP system layout and dimensions of existing telecommunication buildings, facilities, and sites. GPRS Project Managers use industry-leading Leica survey-grade laser scanners to capture 2-4 millimeter accurate existing site conditions in the form of a point cloud. Our in-house Mapping & Modeling Team can transform those point clouds into customized 2D CAD drawings, 3D BIM models, 3D mesh models, TruViews, and 3D virtual tours at any level of detail. 3D laser scanning is essential for the mapping and modeling of proposed implementation sites of telecommunication towers or telephone lines because it is a quick, accurate, and cost-efficient way to collect spatial data from the ground level. It is useful in finding ideal locations for telecommunication equipment (both the towers and paths), and its 3D modeling and topographical mapping abilities help to ensure that the infrastructure will work in relation to the rest of its environment. Additionally, even after successful telecommunication implementation, laser scanning is instrumental in troubleshooting and maintenance. Laser scanning is capable of determining the size and position of antennas on cell towers without surveyors needing to gain access to the tower. It can also be used to produce an inventory of antennas and telecommunication equipment.
Video Pipe Inspection Services
GPRS video pipe inspection services deploy robotic crawler CCTV cameras, lateral launch cameras, and push cameras to inspect and document water, sewer lines, and lateral pipelines to locate clogs, investigate cross bores, find structural faults and damage, and conduct lateral sewer line inspections. GPRS Project Managers deliver NASSCO-certified WinCan reports with the exact location, video, and photo of each defect, ranked by severity so you can plan for maintenance and repairs.
Leak Detection Services
GPRS specializes in all types of leak detection services, including municipal, industrial, and residential. Our Project Managers are leak detection specialists who utilize multiple technologies to locate your leak and have the expertise to map and provide many other insights into your water distribution and/or fire suppression systems. GPRS does this by utilizing a variety of equipment paired with our industry-leading SIM (Subsurface Investigation Methodology) processes. The equipment and methods used include acoustic leak detectors, leak noise correlators, video pipe inspection (CCTV) cameras & sondes, ground penetrating radar, and electromagnetic locating, among others.
