Ground Penetrating Radar has benefits over
using concrete x-ray

Prior to ground penetrating radar, x-ray was the only means of "looking" through concrete to identify embedded items such as rebar, conduit and post-tension cables. Concrete x-rays poses a serious health risk and is not as fast, accurate or as efficient as GPR. Structural Radar Imaging specializes in GPR.

Ground Penetrating Radar and x-ray are both used to find conduits, locate post-tension cables, locate pipes, locate buried lines and finding unknown items in concrete slabs among other uses. A few advantages of using GPR over radiography in Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii are:

Concrete x-ray is an inefficient method for seeing through slabs. Concrete x-ray is also unable to look into the ground because a film must be placed on the opposite side of the slab as the source. Concrete x-ray is only able to look at supported slabs, or structures where both sides are accessible.

GPR is an invaluable tool to use when safe concrete testing is needed.
