Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, LLC. of Arizona was contacted by a local tenant improvement contractor to locate post tension reinforcement and conduit in a concrete slab over grade at a commercial office location in Phoenix, AZ.

This demanding job had a narrow timeframe for completion as well as a large number of core drilling locations to clear for all reinforcements such as post tension cable and rebar as well as any electrical or communication conduits within the slab.

GPRS, Inc. arrived on site within just a 24-hour notice to provide digital concrete imaging (Ground Penetrating Radar) for the contractor to safely locate all rebar, post tension cable, and conduits within the slab in over 20 locations, to safely make all core drilling holes without expensive damages. GPRS was able to successfully locate and illustrate on site, the major power/conduit lines that were underneath the post tension cables within the slab. This gave an extremely clear visual, telling the contractor the essential information needed in order to safely access the conduit without damaging post tension cable.

Ground Penetrating Radar, also known as "GPR" does not require evacuation of the area as does traditional x-ray concrete imaging. GPR emits no radiation and is completely safe to be around. Traditional x-ray is mostly done after hours whereas GPR can be done during normal business hours. All data findings are marked directly on the surface at the customer’s request for the easiest interpretation of the scanning provided. With GPR, there is no wait for developing film as with traditional x-ray. Only one side of the slab is needed for scanning, thus time and resources are efficiently save and ideal for tight project schedules. Ground Penetrating Radar is the new way to x-ray!
