If you’re getting ready to execute an excavation project, Haggith’s Structural Scan & Inspection in Kaneohe, HI recommends conducting a thorough investigation of the work area to ensure that the ground is clear of any obstructions. While you may think the the only way to do this is by starting the dig, Haggith’s can complete a non-destructive inspection using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology, guaranteeing there are no obtrusive materials below the surface.

But how does ground-penetrating radar work, and what makes it useful for conducting a non-destructive inspection? Basically, Haggith’s Structural Scan & Inspection uses a GPR system to emit high-frequency waves through the ground from a transmitting antenna. When these waves hit a certain material, like electrical cables, they’re sent back to the surface and detected by the receiving antenna. The highly trained technicians at Haggith’s are then able to view and analyze the data through the control unit.

non-destructive inspectionSince ground-penetrating radar technology can be used to detect subsurface materials without having to excavate the area, it is classified as a non-destructive inspection tool. Haggith’s Structural Scan & Inspection will complete their investigation by accessing one side of a structure and without emitting any form of radiation.

Better still, most jobs can be executed in very little time, allowing you to keep your facilities open for business throughout the process. Whether you’re building on top of a burial site or you need to know whether there are utility cables in the infrastructure of a concrete building, Haggith’s Structural Scan & Inspection will get the job done by completing a non-destructive inspection.
