What is Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)?

GPR scanning is a nondestructive method used to detect objects in concrete. Our dedicated team always use the latest technology and methods to ensure that we offer the highest quality and professional service possible to all our clients.

GPR is commonly used to assess a concrete structure’s interior makeup. GPR can detect and scan metallic and non-metallic objects which makes it a popular imaging tool. Many construction records for buildings are not easily available and construction is usually different from an initial design, which results in ground penetrating radar being the best way to see what’s hidden.

Portable GPR Scanning Melbourne

Ground Penetrating Radar Scanning (also known as GPR scanning or concrete scanning) is used to locate objects buried or hidden in concrete structures. GPR scanning is done prior to cutting or drilling concrete to locate any hidden objects that may cause damage to machinery or operators.

GPR Scanning Applications – Not Just Rebar Scanning

GPR technology has a variety of applications and uses, which may include:

Thickness measurement (from a single side only)
2D & 3D rebar layout imaging
Rebar cover spot checking
Rebar and live wire locating
Unknown structure investigation
New building conformity checks
Quality assessments

Developments in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) equipment has come a long way. Advancements in GPR scanning technology, including the PinPointR, have resulted in higher resolution scanning and greater penetration depths. Consequently, there has been an improvement in the ability to successfully map sections with multiple layers of steel reinforcement.

As this technology becomes more widespread, it also becomes more affordable. The combination of technological development, efficiency and affordability of GPR scanning is quickly leading to its widespread use for the identification of various hidden structures in construction-related industries.
