Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scanning is a valuable tool for evaluating the condition of concrete structures without causing any damage.
This technology can detect variations in material properties, such as changes in density or conductivity, to create a detailed image of the internal structure.
The depth of penetration depends on the frequency of the antenna used and the properties of the concrete. Higher frequency antennas provide better resolution but shallower penetration, while lower frequency antennas penetrate deeper but with lower resolution. The collected data is processed and analysed using specialized software, which generates a report detailing the findings. This report includes the location and characteristics of detected features such as rebar, voids, cracks, and other anomalies.
GPR scanning offers a non-invasive and efficient way to gather information about the internal condition of concrete structures. This makes it invaluable in various applications, including construction, maintenance, and restoration of buildings, bridges, and other concrete infrastructure.
