Can you name this Boston landmark? We were recently brought in to perform a utility location on the front lawn of the Statehouse. Using our Seektech Tracing equipment and GSSI 400 MHz antennae we were able to accurately locate electrical conduit, as well as water, sewer, and drain lines entering and exiting the building

Identifying Slab-Run Conduits

We were recently brought in to help a contractor working at a local university identify all of the conduits you see in the first picture before they began coring holes in a 10″ thick structural slab. Using our SeekTech tracing equipment, our technician was able to clamp on to each individual conduit and trace its location throughout the entire floor of this university building. After establishing a basic location, the technician redoubled his locating efforts by utilizing the 1.6 GHz GPR antenna to definitively locate each of the conduits in the slab. Thorough GPR analysis of the structural slab helped this contractor by locating placement and depths of the known conduits as well as locating the 2 layers of steel reinforcement in the slab. In the second picture above, the steel reinforcement is marked in black and the electrical conduits are marked in red.
