Fast accurate location of tendons, reinforcing and other internal features.

Key Benefits

  • Locate reinforcing, tension cables, conduits, voids, PVC pipes, measure slab thickness
  • Faster, safer and lower cost than radiography (x-ray)
  • Locate targets to a depth of 1.0m and more in concrete, impossible with x-ray or covermeter

Concrete testing using ground penetrating radar is our FULL SERVICE for penetrations in floors or walls

  • Verify precisely the exit point
  • Slab or wall thickness measurement
  • Sizing of reinforcing
  • Scanning for live power cables
  • Location and marking of reinforcing and services
