• Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is extremely safe for both operators and the public, it does not emit harmful radiation. Unlike X-rays, which use ionizing radiation, GPR is a non-destructive, non-invasive technology that uses high-frequency radio waves to create images of the subsurface. The power of the radio waves is very low, comparable to a Wi-Fi signal or a cell phone.

  • That depends on slab composition, reinforcement density, and site conditions. In typical slabs with access from one side we often achieve clear results up to 12 inches (30cm) deep, but two-sided access extends beyond this; we’ll advise though if conditions limit penetration.

  • GPR is highly effective, but some specific conditions can affect signal clarity. GPR signals do not pass through materials like metal plates, steel fiber-reinforced concrete, or dense, overlapping grids of rebar – Our technicians are trained to interpret these conditions accurately though.

  • Whilst X-ray is limited to the identification (imaging) of targets, GPR benefits as the choice for core or cut positioning, as well as embedment identification. GPR in teh right hands can deliver accurate, real-time, and safe results – without the disruption and risk associated with X-ray imaging.
