We have recently completed this interior scanning at a big fabrication facility in Calgary. The client was an environmental consulting firm drilling both interior and exterior soil boring holes through concrete slab-on-grade. For the interior holes, we would need to identify buried electrical, sewer, water, gas, hydraulic line trenches/features if present within the proposed borehole locations. They were also trying to drill near a former underground storage tank (UST), so we were able to see the backfill material there as well, which would help us position their boreholes. Reinforcement within the concrete slab on grade was the issue with traditional EM utility locates as the signals would be spreading out. Our typical approach was using a high-resolution GPR antenna to scan the slab itself to clear any conduits and piping within the concrete sprior to performing deeper soil investigation with lower frequency antennas which would provide

The reinforcement within the concrete slab on grade was the issue with traditional EM utility locates as the signals would be spread out. Our typical approach was using a high-resolution GPR antenna to scan the slab itself to clear any conduits and piping within the concrete sprior to performing deeper soil investigation with lower frequency antennas which would provide location of underground utility below the slab.

We are specialized in GPR services such as underground utility locates and concrete scanning for rebar, conduits and concrete analysis. We also do UST search and soil boring clearance in Calgary, Edmonton or Red Deer please contact us at 587-917-1486 or info@scantecGPR.com
