HOW DOES RADAR INSPECTION WORK?

Ground Penetrating Radar employs electromagnetic tools for locating embedded objects in concrete. (For example conduits, rebar, and pipes.) High frequency radar signals are directed into the concrete. When reflected back to the device, the signals create a clear image in real time. From the image, we can also determine the thickness of the concrete and the exact spacing of concrete. The signals can penetrate up to 24 inches from one side. This can be combined to examine up to 48 inch thicknesses when access is given from both sides.

SAFETY OF INSPECTIONS

Radar inspection has no residual effects on any objects such as computer equipment, hard drives, tapes, etc. Since it produces no radiation, it can be used at any time during the day or night. Therefore it can be used in any type of construction project, including in office buildings, hospitals, condominiums and manufacturing plants.
