Concrete Imaging & Inspection

Cutting and coring experts and other construction professionals often need a reliable way to non-destructively locate targets within concrete structures prior to drilling, cutting, or coring. Taylor's Structural Imaging, LLC. uses state of the art Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc., (GSSI), ground penetrating radar to non-destructively inspect concrete walls and slabs. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), also referred to as Sonar, Ultrasound or X-ray, can locate targets to depths of 18 inches or more. Only single sided access is required and a large number of square feet can be inspected in one day. In the past, x-ray technology has been used to image concrete. But, unlike x-ray, GPR is extremely safe and does not require evacuating areas to use the equipment. X-ray can not find non-metallic utilities buried within concrete like GPR technology can, and measuring depth of targets with X-ray can also be difficult. Because ground penetrating radar imaging is fast, it can be performed at a fraction of the cost of x-ray.


GPR Can Be Used For:

  • Concrete inspection - locate metallic and non-metallic targets in walls, floors
  • Structure inspection - walls, towers, tunnels, balconies, garages, decks
  • Ceiling inspection
  • Measuring thickness
  • Void location

Advantages of Concrete Inspecting Using GPR

  • Easily transported and small size of equipment allows for varied uses.
  • Requires only one side access of the structure and does not require site evacuation.
  • Use to inspect floors, walls, decks, slabs, tunnels, balconies, and garages.
  • Locate tension cables, rebar, conduits, PVC pipes, voids.
  • Locate objects as deep as 18"
  • 3-D imaging option allows traditional top down views as well as "sliced" end-on views of the imaged concrete.
  • Multiple viewing options may reveal objects not visible in traditional viewing options.
  • Data collection and processing occurs on site for instant access to the results of the imaging.
