AmeriscanGPR recently provided concrete imaging services for an electrical company. The purpose of this survey was to map rebar patterns and locate any in-slab electrical conduits or other obstructions that may interfere with proposed slab penetrations. In order to do so, AmeriscanGPR utilized ground penetrating radar (GPR) and radiodetection technology. The specific equipment used for this project was the Conquest Concrete Imaging System and the RD7000 radiodetection wand. The Conquest GPR unit specializes in evaluating concrete structures and detecting embedded metallic/non-metallic objects.
In order to collect the data needed, grid scans were performed, which collect cross-sectional lines to produce 3D concrete slice images. The RD7000 radiodetection unit, when set to power mode, is able to detect the electromagnetic field surrounding electrical lines. Findings were marked on the concrete slab in marker, as shown in the photos from the site.
This is one of the most common things we get asked to do, here at AmeriscanGPR. It's one of our most requested services, as we have some of the best equipment, and some of the highest experience needed for the project.

As always, here are some photos from the project:
