Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR Live)
Proceq GP8000 Live Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system for concrete Non-destructive testing is a handheld device. This GPR concrete scanner features ultra-wide band detection for unparalleled subsurface evaluation of concrete slabs, bridges, buildings, pavements, and other concrete structures. Using Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) technology, GPR Live real-time concrete scanning covers multiple individual GPR antennas ranging from 0.2 to 4.0GHz. This versatility allows fast integrity assessment, as-built verification, single-side thickness measurement, and hit prevention to accurately mark cutting and safe core drilling locations. Operation modes include a line scan and a 24x24in (60x60cm) survey area.
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) has emerged as an alternative way of non-destructive concrete testing for locating post tension cables, steel reinforcement, and conduits, making it safer to drill, cut or core concrete. The thickness of concrete slab may also be detected. GPR scanning doesn’t have those safety concerns of radiographic inspection and it can be performed from only one side of the concrete.
