The Limitations of Standard GPR Scanning

GPR is a powerful tool for detecting embedded objects in concrete, such as rebar, post-tension cables, and conduits.

However, standard GPR scanning has its limitations:

  • Subjectivity in Interpretation: GPR data is complex and requires expert interpretation to distinguish between different subsurface features accurately.
  • Potential for False Positives/Negatives: Misinterpretation of data can lead to costly mistakes, such as unnecessary coring, missed hazards, or structural damage.
  • Skill Gaps Among Operators: Many companies provide GPR services without a rigorous training process, leading to inconsistent and unreliable results.

    The Importance of Detecting Post-Tension Cables Before Drilling

    When it comes to concrete construction, few hazards carry as much risk as post-tension (PT) cables. These high-strength steel tendons are designed to reinforce and stabilize slabs, and they are tensioned with tens of thousands of pounds of force. Striking one while drilling or coring is a costly mistake.
