The Importance of

ConcreteScanning

Why Is Concrete Scanning


Necessary?
It

demands caution to have concrete structures


drilled, cored, and cut. This is done to
findhidden features under the concrete that
may cause problems within the structure and
themachinery. If these features are not
addressed, these may harm the operator
himself as well asthe people who work in the
vicinity.
We make sure that construction professionals
have the safe and accurate means of
inspectingconcrete areas to locate, identify,
and unearth hidden features.

How Is The Testing Done?

The first step is that we try to locate the


reinforcement
and
also
the
post-tensioned
tendonsfound in walls and floors. The different
antennas we have also detect and locate
differentfeatures. For instance the 1600 MHz antenna
is intended to find PVC pipes and also those voidsthat
are within the walls and even slabs that are up to 0.5
of a meter. Inconsistencies are alsochecked like
honeycombing, cracks, and voids that are found in
walls and in between slabs.Locating targets under the
slabs and also behind walls is done as well as
verifying thick slabs,verifying areas within slabs and
walls if they are safe for drilling, coring, and cutting.
We alsolocate the penetration exit points accurately
to get away from beams and thickenings withinslabs.
We also measure the steel mesh and the concrete
cover for reinforcement on the worksite. We can also
accurately locate and determine dead and alive

What is the competitive edge


in our services?
It

is our aim that workers from the work site


can go home safe, and that deadlines are
met, andprofits are maximized of course
without loss of time and most importantly
loss of life. Slabshave to be checked while
workers are working on them for purposes
of worker safety and workdowntime. For
instance it would be fatal for a worker to
accidentally cut a live wire. This cancause
downtime in work as well which can cost a
lot and as a result the deadlines of the
projectmight not be met.

Why do we use GPR system?


We

use the GPR system since it is non-intrusive


and non-destructive and it can be done
quicklyand efficiently without any work
obstruction and inconvenience on the workers.
This method isknown to produce faster results,
2D imaging and projection, and also it is safe to
use in publicareas. This system also works
efficiently on large areas, and the GPR produces
real time reportsand images that the concrete
scanner technician can analyze on the site
itself. This system cansave time and money for
our clients and ensure safety for our workers.
We create and buildthedesign vision you have
for your business office space.
