GROUND PENETRATION RADAR (GPR)

GPR WORKS BY SENDING A TINY PULSE OF ENERGY INTO A MATERIAL AND RECORDING THE STRENGTH AND THE TIME REQUIRED FOR THE RETURN OF ANY REFLECTED SIGNAL. A SERIES OF PULSES OVER A SINGLE AREA MAKE UP WHAT IS CALLED A SCAN. REFLECTIONS ARE PRODUCED WHENEVER THE ENERGY PULSE ENTERS INTO A MATERIAL WITH DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL CONDUCTION PROPERTIES OR DIELECTRIC PERMITTIVITY FROM THE MATERIAL IT LEFT. THE STRENGTH, OR AMPLITUDE, OF THE REFLECTION IS DETERMINED BY THE CONTRAST IN THE DIELECTRIC CONSTANTS AND CONDUCTIVITIES OF THE TWO MATERIALS. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:
  • [+] Locate and Map Underground Utilities
  • [+] Environmental Assessment and Water Table Mapping
  • [+] Concrete Inspection
  • [+] Locate rebar
  • [+] Trace conduits in concrete slabs
  • [+] Establish location and depth of post-tension cables in concrete
  • [+] Detect the thickness of a concrete slab
  • [+] Detect voids in a concrete slab
  • [+] Bridge Deck Condition Assessments
  • [+] Measurement of Pavement Thickness
