The document outlines professional concrete scanning services that utilize ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology to provide accurate subsurface data, preventing potential damage and ensuring safety during construction. GPR allows for non-destructive imaging of concrete structures, effectively identifying hidden features without the need for evacuation. This technology offers significant advantages, including real-time data presentation and the ability to scan large areas safely.

1. Concrete Scanning

2. We provide highly accurate professional concrete
scanning services. Concrete scanning is a requirement
before concrete is drilled, cut, or cored. Through the
results of concrete scanning, contractors, builders, and
engineers will have the accurate and well-researched
and interpreted subsurface data that will ensure these
professionals can make the right decisions
regarding their projects. With concrete scanning, all
rebar, utilities, or any hidden features are identified so
that damages during and after the construction process
can be prevented. That also means preventing
expensive downtime, errors, injury and even death.

3. What is GPR System?
 The GPR System means Concrete Imaging Ground
Penetrating Radar system. It is also known as “concrete
x-ray” service. This is intended for investigating and
imaging concrete and other structures in a way that is
not destructive. Through the use of GPR or x-ray
imaging, you can scan the concrete inner structure
safely and be able to present the date in real time and
through the in-the-box data acquisition, analysis, and
display.
 We at Expert Office Fitouts make use of cutting edge
technology developed by the world’s
leading manufacturer of GPR. This is made to locate
and record accurate details of conduits and services.
Compared to traditional scanning procedure, GPR
allows the technicians to work on the other trades
without evacuating or coming up with an exclusion zone.

4.  With GPR system, the energy that comes out from
the GPR unit is many times lower than the ones
emitted by the mobile phone. This means that
relocation is not necessary since everyone is not at
risk of being exposed to harmful chemicals. GPR
also makes it easier and more convenient to scan
large areas. The GPR can create one or more
scrolling images that can come up with a sectional
view of the test area. These can be put together to
form virtual 3D model much like an MRI at the
hospital.
 GPR system can be applied to the following: post
tension cables, stressing cables, voiding detection
and location, location of reinforcing support
structure/rio bars, location of nonmetallic items, etc.

5.  This can create images on all of the following:
phone lines, metallic gas pipelines, fibre optic
or data cables, storm water pipes, PVC water
mains, terracotta sewers, etc. Even our antennas
can help find geological targets just like changes in
the subsoil consistency and in its composition which
is needed for environmental surveys and mining
purposes.
