| How Does GPR Work? |
- Uses pulsed Electromagnetic waves similar to aircraft radar.
- GPR sees changes in electrical properties, such as conductivity.
- Best at seeing sharp contrasts (reflection).
- Measures Time to target, and back, as well as the strength of the return signal.
- Metal targets reflect 100% of signal.
|
|
| Aspects of GPR |
- Frequencies from 16 MHz – 3 GHz
- Average radiated power is approximately 1% of cell phone transmitted power.
- Practical Limits
to 36 inches in concrete
to 30 feet deep in Earth
to 100 feet to detect water table and bedrock in Earth
to 1,000 feet in ice
|
|
| Structure Scan Advantages |
- Easily inspects floors, walls, decks, slabs,tunnels, balconies and garages.
- Accurately locates rebar, tension cables, conduits (PVC and metal), voids and measures slab thickness.
- Locates targets to depths of 18 inches.
- Thousands of square feet of concrete can be inspected in a day.
- Faster, safer, and lower cost than radiography (Xray).
- Only single-sided access needed.
- Fully FCC compliant.
- Built with pride in the USA.
