GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR)

GPR uses radar technology to locate buried obstructions in concrete, soil and other substrates. It is also utilized extensively during construction projects in advance of setting large cranes. GPR is used in this case to determine if the surface is structurally sound enough to support the loads that will be encountered during the lift. GPR replaces radiographic inspection for determining post tension cables, rebar and conduit in concrete structures that need to be located prior to coring, boring or drilling.

MISTRAS' GPR services are multi-configurable using a variety of high resolution collection antennas that allow the operator to locate obstructions up to a depth of 18" of concrete. All scans are stored for post processing of the data to accurately determine the location of the obstructions.
