In Concrete Utility Location

Locating Utilities in Concrete Slabs Using Ground Penetrating Radar

This damage can cost a lot of money to repair and the problem areas are particularly difficult to locate. Modern technology is making it easier for contractors to locate underground problems using ground penetrating radar.

The use of ground penetrating radar is becoming more common in construction, surveying, and subterranean repairs. The latest advances in the technology have made the radar more powerful, capable, and affordable. They are easier to understand than before and this is all good news for the customer, who wants the contractors to be able to fully understand and operate modern machinery. Here are a few instances when ground penetrating radar would be particularly useful.

Detecting Leaks.

The use of this radar system can save contractors wasted time, which saves you wasted money. The radar is typically capable of spotting hidden leaks in the pipes beneath the surface of the earth. Ground penetrating radar is your best bet for detecting leaks in pipes beneath concrete slabs or in concrete utility location.

Locating Utility Lines.

Are you a property owner with big construction plans in the future? Then you should know that it’s not a good idea to just run around digging without consulting the professionals first. The use of ground penetrating radar can provide a clear view of the surface deep beneath your feet, even below a concrete slab. If there are any dangerous power lines or water pipes waiting to get in your way, this will let you know. These machines, when used by surveyors, can detect the difference between copper and galvanized pipes, or even PVC piping. It is not restricted in the way that a metal detector is, which means there’s no guess work and no risk involved.
