At Construction X-ray we utilise the latest in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technologies, which are specifically designed for locating non-cementitious materials bound in concrete, such as post-tensioned cables and steel reinforcement bars. Scanning concrete up to 5m deep, this method is non-invasive, fast, accurate, and 100% safe. Our state of the art equipment allows us to quickly mark up large areas in unprecedented detail, as well as offer you a 3D representation of the contents of your concrete on site and at no extra cost. We also pinpoint the exit point of any penetrations to ensure you’re not cutting into a fire pipe, air conditioning, gas line or plumbing.
We can locate and identify the following to keep you and your structure out of harm’s way:
- Steel reinforcement bars
- Pre and post-tensioned cables
- Live power cables and conduits
- Fibre optic cables
- Voids
- Columns, beams and thickenings
- Concrete thickness
So next time you’re cutting or coring through concrete, manage the risk by calling Construction X-ray first!
