GPR is a very beneficial tool to the general contractor. GPR enables us to “see” underground and into concrete which is much less destructive than cutting or chipping open the concrete slab. As you can see in the picture our technician was able to locate dimensions of the under slab footing as well as give a sample of the steel reinforcement grid in the slab and vertically up the structural concrete column. Give us a call at (781) 799-9777 to find out what we can do for you and your project.
We were called out to an early morning job near Copley Square. One of our technicians, who is a avid photographer, snapped this picture of Trinity Church and its reflection on the Hancock Building.
We are Boston’s full service concrete GPR scanning, utility GPR scanning, and video pipe inspection/tracing leader for over 10 years. Experienced technicians coupled with cutting edge technology generate accurate, real-time results to keep your project on schedule and hassle free. Scanning is the fast, safe, and effective way to locate buried obstructions in concrete or below ground.
Renovations are constantly happening at your local supermarkets, and with each renovation, you can guarantee that new trenches will be cut in the slab. The above picture shows electrical conduits and refrigerant lines that were embedded in the slab running through the dairy cooler. GPR scanning is imperative in supermarkets and retail stores, because more times then not, utilities vital to store operation are buried in or just below the concrete slab.
Pro-Scanning was recently awarded the opportunity to do some GPR work at one of Boston’s top sports arena’s. The work consisted of scanning a 10″ to 12″ structural slab on deck prior to core drilling. Due to the thickness and how it was being loaded the slab was designed with a significant amount of heavy gauged rebar, making avoiding damage to the rebar extremely crucial. At the end of the day we were able to provide both top and bottom layers of rebar, thickness of the slab, the peaks and valleys of the corrugated metal deck, as well as any conduit detected within the slab, all while seeing a few professional athletes here and there getting ready for the upcoming season!
Ground Penetrating Radar is a great way to locate underground storage tanks and other buried objects. Here at Pro-Scanning we utilize both a 270 MHz and 400 MHz antennas providing the ability to penetrate up to 15 feet. As seen in the picture above, this UST was rectangular in shape and located at a 4 foot depth. Our technician provided the contractor with an approximate location prior to excavation.
