Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) can be utilized to image concrete slabs and walls using high-frequency radar signals which are directed into the concrete. When the radar signals are reflected back to the device, a clear, real time image is created. Using this image, we can also determine the concrete thickness as well as the exact spacing of the concrete. 

We utilize the Hilti PS1000 Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) in order to scan concrete up to 15.75 inches thick from one side so this can be combined to examine up to 31.5” thicknesses when able to gain access from both sides.  The PS1000 offers a real-time view of the inside of concrete structures and generates accurate images automatically for direct, on-site evaluation.  Our scanning service allows us to verify slab thickness and determine the depth of material cover on reinforcement and also provides us the ability to locate electrical utilities, pipelines, rebar and other features within any concrete structure before we start the cutting or coring process.
