Non-Destructive Testing
We Specialize in Ground Penetrating Radar and Infrared Thermography
To ensure that the most accurate structural data is collected, a true dual frequency GPR is utilized in our concrete scans. This gives a superior resolution and greater depth detail from two data sets that allow us to see beyond the initial concrete layer to identify hidden issues other contractors cannot.
GPR scanning is safer, less expensive, and faster than concrete x-rays allowing the site to remain open during use.

GPR Concrete Scanning
GPR can be used to locate and inspect:
|
GPR works on slab on grade, elevated slab, concrete walls or overhead concrete in 2D or 3D
|
|
Our ground penetrating radar equipment is integrated with GPS for accurate mapping within 2 inches anywhere on earth.
Our US Radar GPR comes equipped with a triple frequency antenna that allows us to collect three data sets at varying depths with accurate imaging so you can make more informed decisions. |
Non-Destructive testing with GPR and Infrared Thermography
We combine technologies so you're covered
Ground Penetrating Radar can locate reinforcement steel, core fills and voids in CMU walls. Scan concrete roofs for the safe installation of rooftop units, scan slab on grade or elevated slabs for steel reinforcement, mesh, conduits, and concrete depth.
|
We can also use Infrared Thermography to locate core fills in CMU block walls. Filled cells shown in red are cooler temperatures, yellow warmer areas are the unfilled cells.
We are a Certified Level I and Level II Infraspection Institute Infrared Thermographer. |
Solving Problems with Infrared and GPR
Recently a customer had a unique problem, he built a beautiful new garage to build custom cars in. The garage had in-floor heating and now he wanted a car lift installed. He needed 10 bolt holes drilled 1/2" x 4" deep into the concrete but he had in-floor heating lines running in all directions.
We were called in to do an infrared survey and locate the lines which is very easy with infrared however it cannot pin point the exact location and depth as needed for drilling. Lucky for the customer we also do (GPR) ground penetrating radar and concrete scans. We used the U.S. Radar concrete scanner to locate the exact locations of the lines and the holes were drilled.
Problem solved!

Mapping prior to cutting or coring
Older structures may have incomplete documentation and newer facilities may lack as built documentation for specific areas. GPR Wisconsin 2D and 3D imaging will provide you needed information to help you continue safely with your project and not be slowed down due to costly accidents.

GPRover Subsurface Imaging and Utility Mapping Systems
The Rover is equipped with the John Deere Navcom Starfire GPS system. This system uses triple band technology with high accuracy GPS and mapping.
This system provides accuracy within 2” and can detect anything from fiber optic cables to utilities up to 30 feet deep and everything in between. The GPS mapping can be sent directly to you or your office from the field.
