One of the biggest problems in new construction today is unmapped existing underground utilities. When damage occurs, it causes major cost over runs, change orders and critical delays to project completions. Here at Structural Radar Imaging Inc., we provide a utility locate and mapping service to solve these problems.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is the perfect tool with today's constantly evolving construction schedules and as timeline needs arise for coring and identifying items after the concrete pour. We specialize in locating post-tension cables, plastic conduit, and rebar in new construction projects.
Ground Penetrating Radar is becoming more familiar in the construction industry as a valuable and necessary tool. The ground penetrating radar equipment that we use is an advanced design, state-of-the-art radar locator. It has multiple frequencies with antenna array features that greatly enhance the efficiency to detect underground utilities. It is compatible to the Geographic Information System.
For contractors GPR is a beneficial tool because scheduling of trenching can be done faster when you know ahead of time where utilities are located and how deep they are. SRI has the ability to scan to a depth of 10 ft. Our underground locating technology can provide you with the visual data you need to make precise measurements.
SRI’s experienced ground radar technicians work from the most precise full-color GPR data and methodical collection practices providing you with the information you need to resolve any underground locating issues.
We’ve used our ground penetrating radar at new construction sites in Washington to:
- Locate gas lines
- Locate steel pipe
- Locate post-tension cables
- Locate pre-stressed cables
- Locate conduit
- Locate plastic pipe
