CONCRETE STRUCTURE SCANNING
Concrete Structure Scanning is another form of Ground Penetrating Radar, this type of GPR can be performed in a multitude of ways from an array of GPR equipment on the market. Concrete Structure Scanning can aid clients with general damage prevention or factually gather all of the analytical data regarding reinforcements, voids, concrete thickness, and possible hazards such as live electrical wires or plumbing lines. At Axis Building Detection we don’t just offer generic GPR, we have industry-specific GPR units that can accurately determine reinforcement type, size, spacing, cover, depth, and even augmented reality to take your project planning to the next level.
WHY USE GPR FOR CONCRETE STRUCTURE SCANNING?
Concrete structures are vital components of modern infrastructure, but they can also be complex and challenging to construct and maintain. Traditional methods of identifying subsurface elements within concrete structures involve destructive testing, which can be time-consuming, costly, and hazardous to workers. GPR offers a non-destructive, safe, and efficient way to scan concrete structures and identify subsurface elements without damaging the structure or putting workers at risk.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF USING GPR FOR CONCRETE STRUCTURE SCANNING:
Non-destructive testing: GPR does not require drilling, cutting, or coring into the concrete structure, making it a non-destructive testing method that preserves the integrity of the structure and minimizes the risk of damage.
Saves time and money: GPR can quickly scan large areas of concrete structures, reducing the time and costs associated with traditional destructive testing methods.
Improves safety: GPR scanning is a safe, non-invasive testing method that eliminates the risks associated with traditional destructive testing methods, such as falling debris, electrical hazards, and exposure to hazardous materials.
Accurate results: GPR provides accurate and reliable results, allowing engineers and contractors to make informed decisions about the construction, maintenance, and repair of concrete structures.
Minimizes disruption: GPR scanning is a quiet, non-invasive testing method that minimizes disruptions to ongoing construction activities, making it an ideal choice for use in occupied buildings or sensitive environments.
