Locate cables and pipes in concrete using Concrete Scanning

Ground Penetrating Radar (X-Ray)

1 2 3 Locate It can locate your underground services using our Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR – Structure Scan). We can help locate underground services in many instances where standard radio-detection methods cannot. We can quickly and easily detect buried utility infrastructure.

Ground Penetrating Radar technology can determine the location and depth of:

• water mains – all types, including asbestos, blue brut
• pipes – plastic, poly, pvc
• fire main valves
• fibre optic cables
• road crossings
• rising mains
• buried manhole covers
• underground
• underground tanks and pits

Ground penetrating radar is a non-destructive geo-physical method that uses radar pulses to ‘map’ an image of shallow subsurface features (down to approximately 6 metres). The data collected from the radar sweeping across the surface is collected to construct a view of the subsurface.

Unfortunately, some conditions have a negative impact on GPR performance. High-conductivity (e.g. high moisture content) materials and heterogeneous conditions (e.g. rocky soils) will reduce its performance. For example, whilst dry sandy soils will allow radar penetration to approximately 6 metres, wet clay soils and salt-contaminated soils can reduce the depth to less than 1 metre. Rocky soils can cause radar signal scattering.

Locate cables and pipes in concrete using Concrete Scanning

Radar / Slab X-Ray

The use of non-destructive high-resolution ground penetrating radar (GPR – Utility Scan) before you core, cut or drill concrete, can greatly reduce the risk to workers cutting through live cables or other hazards. 1 2 3 Locate It’s concrete scanning can accurately indicate the presence and depth of pipes, cables, steel reinforcing, post-tension ducts, any voids in concrete and suspended slabs. This technology greatly increases worker safety. Our teams are highly experienced, trained and fully insured.
