 GPR has the potential to be used for a variety of pavement applications, including measuring the thickness of asphalt pavement, base and sub-grade; assisting in the analysis of rutting mechanisms and locating subsurface objects to name some. But there are many applications for SRI’s surface penetrating radar.
Ground Penetrating Radar applications in Washington include:
- GPR is used to map the concrete condition of aging bridge deck structures
- Locating rebar or other subsurface features within a roadway, in a building, under a property is another use for ground penetrating radar in Washington, Oregon, Hawaii and Alaska
- Determination of pavement condition, along with pavement substructure at airports such as Sea-Tac Airport
- Concrete x-ray is used for the measurement of new asphalt pavement compaction as a Quality Assurance indicator for contractors in Washington
- Using ground penetrating radar for railway track substructure includes determination of presence/absence of layer interface "fouling," trapped water, layer thickness and
buried utilities
- In the Earth sciences ground penetrating radar is used to study bedrock, soils, groundwater, and ice
- GPR can be used for locating buried structures and utility lines in Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii.
- Ground penetrating radar is used to define landfills
- Use surface penetrating radar for mapping archaeological features and cemeteries
- law enforcement can use GPR for locating clandestine graves and buried evidence
- GPR is also used in detection of mines, unexploded ordnance, and tunnels
- Location of voids under ground or pavement in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii and Northern California is another application for underground 3D mapping
- Quality Assurance Control of new structures in Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii.
- Inspection of the inside of new construction projects
- Inspection of the inside conditions of existing constructions for rehabilitation purposes
- GPR can be used for pavement thickness determinations
- Inspection of walls, floors and decks inside hospitals and other structures through non-destructive testing
- Inspection of concrete support columns and beams
- Inspection of tunnel walls, roofs and inverts
- Inspection of parking lots and garages
- Location of re-bars, conduits and tension cables in Vancouver
- Location of voids behind walls, under the concrete and underground
- Mapping the thickness of concrete layers in structures
- Mapping the thickness of bridge decks
- GPR detects metal and non-metallic objects undergroundton
- Location and identification 50/60Hz power cables
The uses and applications for SRI’s ground penetrating radar are almost limitless.
