Why You Could Need Ground-Penetrating Radar Scanning for Your Commercial Project
Ground penetrating radar concrete scanning is able to detect different things during a scan.
Ground penetrating radar scanning is a method we at G&M Services use to uncover subsurface hazards through the use of ground penetrating radar, or GPR for short. Ground penetrating radar concrete scanning is able to detect different things during a scan. These include things like pipes, conduits, utilities, live wires, rebar, voids, post tension cables, and much more. If you are currently working on a commercial concrete project, you should consider using our GPR concrete scanning services. Read on to learn all about ground penetrating radar scanning and why it’s crucial for a commercial construction project!
Safety Concerns
Cutting into concrete at random without doing research and scanning is reckless and dangerous. There’s a slight chance that while you’re digging into unscanned concrete that you might encounter unknown subsurface hazards or objects. Doing this can harm and possibly even electrocute your workers. This is where ground penetrating radar scanning comes in. It can help you notice any abnormalities before you get to work on that plot of land in your commercial project.
Its Impact on Concrete Cutting
Striking any subsurface objects could result in possible injuries or delays in your project. Typically, clients will call for ground penetrating radar scanning after they have already hit an unknown object by mistake. After this, it takes time to scan the rest of their concrete to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Occasionally, repairs could be required to fix the damage done by the accident before anything else is completed, which will further increase the delays. This is something you should try to avoid if you want the project done on time.
Saving Money on Your Project
Without the right concrete scanning, you’re guessing when it comes to your own concrete. This could make working with it in a cost-effective and timely manner almost impossible. However, GPR scanning gives you a better idea of a proposed core, cut, and trench space, so you know just how it has to be addressed without any horrible surprises. This will increase the work-time of the construction project, which is highly cost-effective.
Finish Your Job Right the First Time
Big construction projects require accuracy, which is next to impossible if you are guessing what exactly your concrete contains and what its dimensions are. This haphazard guessing leaves a large margin for error and all kinds of surprise issues in the future. These could make projects much more complicated and take longer, ultimately making them more expensive than you would’ve anticipated. Without ground-penetrating radar scanning, you are putting your workers at risk for injuries, too. Give G&M Services a call to see how our GPR scanning can help you and your project before it’s too late!
