The Impact of Ground-Penetrating Radar
G&M Services offers ground-penetrating radar scanning services to all of our clients.
Ground-penetrating radar, known as GPR, uses distinct radio waves to capture images of what is lying underneath different surface types. G&M Services offers ground-penetrating radar scanning services to all of our clients. Our GPR scanning services are able to locate rebar, metal and plastic conduits, and stress and post-tension cables within concrete too. We offer 24/7 Emergency ground-penetrating radar scanning to clients who require our services during emergency situations. Each of our field technicians have been trained to use these tools, and we also perform thousands of ground-penetrating radar scans on an annual basis. Read on to learn more about the true impact of ground-penetrating radar!
Why Pick Ground-Penetrating Radar for Your Project?
Ground-penetrating radar scans are able to produce real-time results of what is in the ground. After a GPR scan is done, a field mechanic then sends the image off to a supervisor to clean up the image. After an image has been cleaned, the structural engineer and the client then review the results. The scans can reach as deep as 24”, are utilized with no radiation, and are safer than an X-ray being performed. Ground penetrating radar is an excellent option for companies who don’t wish to disturb the natural beauty of their current landscaping.
What Does Ground-Penetrating Radar Detect?
Ground-penetrating radar is able to detect an extensive range of items and is able to look through concrete slabs. Ground penetrating radar scans can also detect metal and plastic conduits, rebar, and post or stress cables. It can detect concrete and other natural materials in the ground through the use of its imagery. Ground-penetrating radar could also be implemented on one side of a concrete slab without requiring access to different sides of a concrete slab.
The Pros of Ground-Penetrating Radar
There are different pros to using ground-penetrating radar. Mostly, GPR is cost-effective and a non-invasive way of surveying a construction site and other areas that need to be imaged before or during construction jobs. You won’t have to dig, excavate, or disturb the soil while you’re using GPR scanning since it can detect through different surfaces. Since ground-penetrating radar doesn’t use radiation, it’s safe for use in public spaces and for people to be around while surveying. It can quickly detect objects and irregularities underground, providing nice opportunities to collect data on what is underneath a project site.
