Downtown Core Drill Project – Arizona

Ground Penetrating Radar used to locate conduit, rebar, and post tension cable in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, LLC. – GPRS of Arizona was contacted by a major national general contractor to locate rebar and post tension cable within the concrete flooring of a new high rise project in downtown Phoenix, AZ.

In this sensitive project, it was essential that the location of all reinforcements such as post tension cable, rebar, and live power conduits be located, to confirm that they would not be damaged during any core drilling or concrete cutting processes.

With Ground Penetrating Radar Systems' trusted history of accurately locating structural steel within concrete on dozens of previous projects for this major contractor, GPRS was immediately called upon for this unexpected and urgent work. GPRS arrived on site within 24 hours to provide digital concrete imaging (ground penetrating radar) to provide illustrations marked directly on site in real time, to provide an accurate mapping of the rebar beneath the concrete wall's surface. This provided just what the contractor needed, so that they were able to safely core drill and saw cut though the flooring without compromising any structural integrity or personal safety of workers.

Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, LLC. is very familiar with working closely with countless major commercial projects and contractors. Ground penetrating radar mapping is a great tool to scan areas of post tension cables, rebar, and conduits, including PVC pipes. Ground penetrating radar can also be used to locate underground utilities such as water, gas, electrical, communication, sewer, and other objects prior to digging or excavating.
