Arizona Commercial Builders, Inc. Uses GPRS to Scan Concrete for Rebar

Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS) was recently contacted by Arizona Commercial Builders, Inc. to use their ground penetrating radar(GPR) technology to scan the concrete for rebar, post tension cables, as well as electrical conduits prior to installing a fence which required anchor bolts as well as coring 4 holes at a parking garage in Phoenix, Arizona. Once on site, Ground Penetrating Radar Systems was quickly able to determine the concrete slab thickness, the location of the rebar, post tension cables, as well as where the supporting beams were located in the area of the cores. The items located were marked directly on the concrete slab, so that the customer could have the cores done that same day.

Ground Penetrating Radar is ideal for precise location of rebar, post-tension cables prior to saw cutting and/or core drilling, mapping of electrical conduits, detection of sub-surface voids and utilities, and detection of underground storage tanks. Ground Penetrating Radar Systems can also perform concrete inspections.

Ground Penetrating Radar Systems provides GPR services throughout Arizona, including the greater Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff areas.
