Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, LLC. of Phoenix, AZ. was contacted by a solar contractor in Tucson, AZ. to locate PT cables on an outdoor basketball court. The contractor was looking to install multiple support columns to carry the load of new solar panels over top of a basketball court at a park in Tucson. Four of the columns were to run between the two basketball courts through the concrete. It was very important to scan this area prior to cutting the concrete for the install of these columns to avoid cutting into any Post Tension cables. Once scanning the four locations we were able to show the client that where they wanted to install the columns, it was loaded with approximately six Post Tension cables running the entire length of the basketball court. This information was very important to the client to help determine if they are able to install the columns in these exact locations or not.

Ground Penetrating Radar is ideal on a busy construction site as well as a place of occupancy. GPR does not require evacuation of the area as does traditional x-ray concrete imaging. GPR emits no radiation and is completely safe to be around. Traditional x-ray is mostly done after hours; GPR can be done during normal business hours. All data findings are marked directly on the surface at the customer’s request for the easiest interpretation of the scanning provided, with GPR there is no wait for developing films as with traditional x-ray. Only one side of the slab is needed for scanning so time and resources are much more ideal for tight schedules of projects. Ground Penetrating Radar is the new way to x-ray!
