Engineering and construction projects are expensive undertakings, so before you get to work, you want to find ways to save money from the outset. With GPR scanning (Ground Penetrating Radar), you’ll be able to anticipate anything that could interfere with your project—even if it’s underground.

What Can You Find With GPR Scanning?

• Structural Issues: Scanning the ground before you start digging will let you know if the ground is solid or not, and if there are any voids that will affect drilling.
• Underground Cables & Pipes: You never want to accidentally hit a water main during construction, and you’ll also need to be careful of electric lines, gas lines, and telecommunication lines.
• Hidden Rebars: Without a rebar locator, you could destroy your equipment if you drill into a reinforcing bar embedded in a block of concrete or masonry.

Save Money & Time While Protecting Your Employees

Discovering a structural issue after you start the excavation process is a costly mistake and can delay your project. If you begin an excavation project without GPR scanning, you’ll also put your contractors at risk; flying debris and exposed electrical wires can cause serious injuries, which will lead to expensive workers’ compensation claims and insurance hikes. Don’t take a chance—GPR scanning will help you plan the best route for your excavation.
