• Concrete GPR Scanning Services Now Offered by Booth Engineers

    At Booth Engineers, we are always focused on expanding our capabilities to better serve our clients. We are excited to announce that we now offer Concrete Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scanning services, an advanced technology that allows for the non-invasive examination of structures. Whether you’re managing a complex construction project or dealing with structural distress, our GPR scanning service will provide you with critical insights.

    What is Concrete GPR Scanning?

    Concrete GPR scanning (also known as concrete x-ray) uses radar pulses to detect objects and voids within concrete structures. By sending electromagnetic waves into the concrete and measuring the reflections, GPR can map features below the surface, including:

    • Reinforcement bars (rebar)
    • Post-tension cables
    • Electrical conduits
    • Voids or air pockets
    • Other embedded objects

    While GPR technology is highly effective, it does have some limitations. For instance, it may struggle to accurately detect features at great depths or distinguish between materials with similar densities. Additionally, moisture in the concrete or surface roughness can affect scan accuracy. Despite these limitations, GPR remains one of the most reliable methods for non-destructive concrete assessment.

    How Concrete GPR Scanning Can Assist in Assessing Distressed Structures?

    One of the key applications of GPR scanning is in the assessment of distressed structures. Concrete can deteriorate over time due to factors such as environmental exposure, material fatigue, and improper maintenance. If you’re dealing with cracking, spalling, or other signs of structural failure, GPR scanning provides a effecient, non-destructive way to understand the underlying issues. Allowing engineers to assess the situation

    At Booth Engineers, our GPR scanning services allow you to:

    • Identify structural damage: Pinpoint voids, and other internal defects that could compromise the stability of your structure.
    • Locate reinforcement elements: Ensure that critical reinforcements like rebar and post-tension cables are intact and properly positioned.
    • Guide repair strategies: Gain the detailed information you need to make informed decisions about structural repairs, reducing the risk of unnecessary interventions.

    Our team of experienced technicians, building investigators, and engineers are ready to help you assess your distressed structure with state-of-the-art GPR technology, ensuring the long-term performance of your assets.
