GPR Concrete and Rebar Scanning

We provide a GPR survey for a broad range of projects and sectors. Using the latest ground penetrating radar technology we locate and measure the layout of structural reinforcement within elements of a building structure including floor slabs, RAAC planks and concrete beams.

How efficient is a GPR survey?

GPR Concrete and Rebar scanning is a key aspect of many sector projects, capable of detecting areas of voids within more unusual structures, including sea wall defences and promenades. Not only is this a more efficient surveying method; the 800mm scan depth can directly provide you with high resolution 3D imagery in real time.

A GPR survey enables you to mitigate the risk of striking the steelwork during construction, reducing the risks of injuries, damage to project equipment or weakening of the existing concrete structure.

Is Ground Penetrating Radar better than a more traditional approach?

A traditional approach to concrete and rebar scanning often means drilling a core sample. This adds cost, time delays, potential damage and risk to a project. Using Ground Penetrating Radar reduces the need for invasive techniques, with little or no disturbance to the building, its occupants or customers. It also means that the survey can be carried out much more quickly, which benefits the project overall.
