Traditional impulse Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems use time-domain measurements of the reflected waves within the investigated objects. A Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) system collects data in the frequency domain and converts the data to time-domain data through computer processing. Until recently, the time-consuming calculations associated with the real-time inverse Fourier transforms in SFCW systems limited its application. Thanks to faster processing capabilities available nowadays, this limitation no longer applies to GPR. The experimental work on representative concrete structures presented in this paper shows a systematic comparison of a new SFCW GPR system with traditional impulse radar systems. The results illustrate that SFCW technology combines the highest resolution in the detection of shallow targets, with a very broad detection range. At the same time, the system is very fast, both in terms of data display as well as data sharing. Therefore, we are concluding that experts, civil engineers and contractors will be able to rely on a higher probability of detection and higher productivity using just one SFCW test system in the future.

New NDT technology for assessment of concrete defects and faultsDavid Corbett
This presentation describes three different technologies that are used for imaging concrete structures and how they complement each other to provide a complete assessment.
Presentation on 16th October 2018 by Isaak Tsalicoglou at the 3rd Japanese-Swiss workshop titled "Durability Testing of Concrete, on site and in the lab", at TFB in Wildegg, Switzerland.
The state of the art of non-destructive testing applied to civil engineering has in recent years achieved many significant milestones in the field of imaging technologies for the assessment of reinforced concrete structures. The constant improvement of the available electronic components and the increased computational power of consumer-grades mobile devices are among the key factors that drove mature technologies such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Eddy Current Testing (ECT) into products delivering new levels of accuracy and usability. At the same time, recent developments of the pulse-echo-based Ultrasonic Tomography (UT) further broadened the range of applications potentially addressed. Still, there seems to be a general lack of awareness in the user community about the real potentials and main limitations of each of the three technologies. The current work focuses on the typical scenarios and the common challenges presented by tasks of embedded object detection (structural details, steel reinforcement, utility network) and flaw detection (voids, cracks, delaminations). The complementarity of the three technologies has been proven through measurements on test blocks and real-life cases. It is noted that the proper combination of technologies naturally results in more efficient workflows, increased positioning accuracy, and a less subjective, operator-dependent interpretation of the testing results.
Our Porosity & permeability analysis product is based on the unique advantages of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technique. Using permanent magnetic fields and electromagnetic energy of specific frequency, the hydrogen nuclei of the formation fluids are excited. Their response provides a lithology-independent measurement of the total porosity and the pore size distribution of the rock or sediment.

GPR Utility Locating Unveiling The Hidden World Beneath Our FeetTec
Beneath the surface lies a network of underground utilities that provide essential services, but are at risk during construction projects. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) utility locating uses electromagnetic waves to accurately map subsurface structures like pipes and cables in a non-destructive way. This allows construction crews to identify utility locations precisely to avoid costly accidents and ensure project safety and efficiency. As GPR technology advances through integration with GIS and other tools, its utility locating capabilities continue improving to reveal more details about what lies beneath the surface.
The Pundit PL-200PE employs state-of-the-art pulse echo technology to extend the ultrasonic application to objects where access is restricted to a single side.
Ultrasonic pulse echo testing has been proven to be complementary to other NDT techniques. The leading products by Proceq help to identify defects that are not detectable e.g. with radar or eddy current tests. In particular, deep scanning of walls and linings, finding of deep and second or third layer rebars and tendon duct analysis deliver unrivalled results compared to other techniques. However, the case studies presented in this paper also highlight some of the issues that need to be looked at in order to increase the value of on site pulse echo testing. Scanning speed has been one key issue that has been partially addressed through the introduction of real time B-scan imaging incl. an immediate onboard feature to create panoramic scan images out of individual scans. It has also been recognized that 3D imaging and variable slicing of the scan data help a great deal in visualizing the structural features.
A few recent advancements have been laid out in this paper, however, the authors realize that further steps are needed to fully explore the power of this NDT technology. One further step in this is use artificial intelligence positioning systems and improved image stitching to expedite and ease on-site usage of the system. Also an onboard data interpretation system is underway and ready for release to the markets, which can be particular helpful when the initial test reports are already created on-site. Finally, an on-site 3D analysis will be introduced into the next generation of instruments as well to bring ultrasonic pulse echo testing of concrete structures to the next level.
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-destructive testing method that uses radio waves to image the subsurface of materials like concrete. It works by pulsing radio waves into the material and analyzing the signal from waves that bounce back, allowing technicians to locate rebar and other objects. GPR equipment includes handheld units and carts with antennas of varying frequencies and depths, and it is used to safely locate hazards before cutting concrete. However, limitations include reduced effectiveness in moisture, around walls, and for non-metallic objects.
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
Ground Penetrating Radar Scanning Revealing the Hidden DepthsTec
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) utilizes electromagnetic waves to create images of underground structures and materials. It works by emitting pulses into the ground and recording reflected signals, which are processed to generate detailed subsurface images. GPR systems consist of a control unit to configure scanning, an antenna to transmit and receive waves, and a storage device for data. It has applications in construction, archaeology, environmental studies, utility detection, and forensics due to providing non-destructive, high resolution images of what lies below the surface in a rapid, cost-effective, and safe manner.
UXOs exist in regions that have encountered substantial bombing during past wars, such as Europe, Asia and the US.
UXOs deteriorate over time making them more sensitive and more likely to explode if disturbed.
UXOs prevent civil land use, are a danger to public safety and are a significant environmental concern.
Locating UXO prior to excavation is required to prevent serious consequences.
GPR Military application | Finding Buried UXOPeterAnnan2
The document discusses how ground penetrating radar (GPR) can be used to detect unexploded ordnance (UXO). GPR emits radio waves into the ground and measures reflections to locate subsurface objects like bombs and artillery shells. It can detect both metallic and non-metallic UXO and provides depth information, overcoming limitations of other detection methods. The document provides examples of GPR successfully locating UXO at former bombing sites in Europe. GPR surveys generated cross-sections and depth slices to pinpoint UXO locations and ensure sites were safe for construction or land use.
Inertial locating to accurately map live underground gas distribution utiliti...On The Mark Locators, LLC
Inertial locating is an innovative technology that is used to accurately map underground pipe networks. But to date the technology has required non-pressurized pipes. Now a PHMSA-sponsored project has demonstrated that the technology can be applied to small-diameter pressurized gas lines with no disruption of service to customers. The Reduct DuctRunner inertial mapping technology, about which I have blogged previously, allows mapping networks of (unpressurized) pipes with various diameters for distances of up to 2 km (1.25 Miles) with a precision of 15 cm (6 Inches) horizontally and vertically.

Underground surveying requires different techniques than surface surveying due to challenging conditions like heat, moisture, darkness and danger. Key points covered:
- Underground control networks must be connected and oriented to surface networks by obtaining coordinates of underground stations and bearings of underground lines relative to surface lines.
- Modern surveying tools like Leica fieldPro software integrate 3D CAD with data collection to enable one-person face mapping and daily mine survey updates for accurate planning.
- Leica GeoMoS provides automatic deformation monitoring systems for underground asset protection.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
