• New construction and renovation projects usually
  require workers to cut, core, and drill current
  concrete slabs. Elements such as post-tension
  cables, reinforcing bars (rebar), and a few types
  of wiring are contained in these slabs
  repeatedly. Damaging them acquires the cost of
  repair in addition to postponing the project and
  creating a safety hazard for employees, making it
  necessary to understand what is inside a concrete
  slab before you start cutting it.

• Scanning concrete has some advantages over the
  old method of using x-rays. Professionally
  trained technicians are required for scanning who
  can correctly explain the results of a GPR scan.
  Scanning technicians can also react instantly to
  service requests for concrete scanning, which is
  especially useful when you realize you need it at
  the last minute.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING CONCRETE
SCANNING?

• GPR only needs contact to one side of the
  concrete, so you can use it for slab-on-grade
  concrete where the concrete was poured directly
  onto the floor. Restriction in using x-rays is
  that it needs access to both sides of the
  concrete since one side must collect the
  radioactive material while the film is placed on
  the other side. This constraint usually restricts
  the use of x-rays to elevated slabs.
• Technicians must utilize other data to verify
  whether the inner structure is rebar or a conduit
  because GPR cannot identify the specific material
  inside the concrete by itself. This process
  normally involves marking the location of each
  variance and analyzing the resulting pattern to
  define what each mark indicates. For example, a
  series of differences spaced 12 to 18 inches
  apart is highly rebar, while differences spaced
  more apart at regular intervals are most likely
  post-tension cables.

• REINFORCING STEEL
• Once rebar and post-tension cables in concrete
  are located with GPR by technicians, they mark
  these locations immediately on the slab. These
  marks make sure that workers can drill into the
  concrete without negotiating its operational
  reliability or requiring to perform repairs
  later. GPR scanning is particularly helpful for
  arranging a site for renovation. That site
  requires workers to cut into existing concrete to
  establish new constructions such as electrical
  pipes, fire protection systems, plumbing, drains,
  and pipes on daily basis.
• Conclusion
• Concrete scanning is essential to save time, for
  the safety of workers, to save money, and for
  accuracy. Concreate scanning creates a safety
  hazard for employees, making it necessary to
  understand what is inside a concrete slab before
  you start cutting into it.
