Concrete Penetrating Radar (CPR) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

CPR is the non-destructive inspection of concrete structures, including in ceilings, columns, walls and floors. This way, we can accurately locate the entry and exits points of valuable structural assets, to avoid damaging them. Our services include finding pre-stressed and post-tension cables and their depth, the condition and depth of rebar, and the thickness and depth of concrete slabs. 

GPR uses radio waves to collect SubSurface data of up to 25 metres in depth, to construct 2D or 3D views of the SubSurface. This locates underground anomalies such as building foundations, electrical conduits, pipes, wells, soak-wells, leach drains, septic tanks, contamination plumes, gravesites and voids.
