Abstract:
Existing concrete slabs and structures require scanning and imaging before any build out, renovation, or excavation work begins. Ground-penetrating radar technology has established itself as the primary tool for fast, effective, and efficient determination of the presence of utilities and embedded structural members, such as post-tensioning tendons and reinforcing bars.
