DID YOU KNOW WE SCAN and do you know what that is? Ground Penetrating Radar Scanning is a non-destructive means to locate potential targets within concrete structures prior to cutting, coring or breaking. Some examples of the potential targets you may want to locate include reinforcement steel, conduits, pre/post tension cables, PVC, and wire mesh.
The way Ground Penetrating Radar Scanning works is similar to a fish finder. A fish finder is used to find the location and depths of fish within a body of water, although there is no way to determine the specific type of fish or its size. Same applies when it comes to scanning; the scanner sends RADAR (Radio Detection And Ranging) into a concrete slab or wall and bounces off any targets within the concrete. Whether the radar is reflecting off wire mesh, rebar, post tension, conduit, or any other metallic target there is no way to specifically determine what the Target is.
