Ameriscan uses GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) to determine the location and depth of objects embedded in the subsurface. In addition, the state of the art equipment that we use can detect voids beneath a surface or the corrosion of concrete. There is a vast variety of scanable surfaces that range from drywall to marble; however, concrete and earth are the most commonly scanned surfaces.
Concrete Applications
Ground Penetrating Radar is used to:
- Determine the place and distance of reinforcing steel, electrical conduits, beams, pipes, data lines, post tension cables, etc.
- Avoid penetrating "live" embedded utilities
- Locate voids in or under slabs/walls
- Determine slab thickness
Earth Applications
Ground Penetrating Radar is used to:
- Determine the place and distance of underground utilities
- Able to read up to 30 feet deep
- Avoid damaging "live" buried utilities
- Locate voids underground, storage tanks, drums, etc.
Additional Services:
- Detailed professional reports
- 3D imaging
- Radio Detection Transmitting
- Map utilities
- Core drilling and saw cutting
- Wire, pipe tracing and mapping
- Concrete strength testing
What Makes Us Different
- Ameriscan's technicians complete full training. Each specialist undergoes thorough instruction about the equipment's operations, as well as the reading of the data.
- Ameriscan's technicians must complete exhaustive safety training and are OSHA certified and have to complete mandatory monthly safety classes.
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services are cheaper than radiography (X-Ray) because data can be gathered faster and the set up time is minimal.
Benefits of Using GPR vs. Radiography (X-Ray)
- GPR doesn't use radiation; therefore, the area being scanned does not need to be cleared.
- Prompt set up time.
- Data is produced quickly and efficiently.
- There is no limit to the size of the scan and the equipment requires to be set up only once.
- GPR can reach hard to scan areas whereas radiography cannot.
- Thousands of square feet of area can be scanned in one day.
