Concrete Scanning Project
Ground Penetrating Radar Systems was requested on site at the St. Regis Hotel in Atlanta, GA. GPRS was asked to determine the location of the reinforcing steel and embedded utility lines within the concrete so that they would not be damaged during drilling for a kitchen/ballroom renovation.
GPR is an ideal tool for use in restaurants and hotels, as it does not emit harmful radiation, produces virtually no noise, and will not disturb operating equipment, patrons, or other workers.
GPR is frequently used to scan concrete to determine the presence of embedded obstructions in concrete. It can be used on elevated slabs or on slab-on-grade concrete. It can also be used for locating underground utilities and underground storage tanks, as well as for unmarked grave mapping and locating septic systems.
