Echo GPR Concrete Scanning Services
COREDRILL – CONCRETE DRILLING SCANNING
Avoid the risks associated with concrete drilling and core drilling and have Echo GPR Services provide you with valued information to help make safer and smarter decisions. Our concrete scans give our clients a clear layout of embedments within the concrete, including post-tension cables, conduits, rebar, and beams. Unlike concrete X-rays, our concrete GPR scanning requires no evacuation and provides you with instant results. Scans for core drilling are performed in 2ft x 2ft areas, typically performed in 6-10 minutes per location.
SAW CUT – TRENCH CUT SCANNING
Like concrete coring, saw cutting for a trench cut can pose an even greater risk of damage to infrastructure. Using GPR on concrete can identify conduits and establish accurate depths to avoid damaging these embedments. Saw cut scanning provides you with the identification of hazards and allow you to strategically plan the trench cut on your next project.
3D MODELING – DESIGN
In the pre-planning phases of a project, it is valuable to know where post-tension cables, rebar, reinforcement, and conduits are before construction starts. Echo GPR can perform concrete scanning in advance and digitally map out concrete reinforcement and other embedments and insert that information into your models. This in-depth process can reduce costs by eliminating in-field changes by identifying hazards and conflicts in the planning process.
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS – INSIGHTS
GPR concrete scanning is valuable and can provide structural engineers with knowledge of how a building was constructed. Valuable and insightful information can be delivered about concrete thickness, rebar placement, spacing, and depth of cover. Concrete GPR can measure rebar amplitudes to also provide condition assessment for rebar corrosion. Echo GPR will provide deliverables to answer your questions, backed up by statistical evaluations.
