Scope:

J.R. Abbott

This project was a unique challenge, as the market was redesigned after the entire slab was poured.  SRI was called in after two other companies, that provided similar services, had failed. With nearly 300 relocated plumbing and electrical sleeves, radar was essential for accuracy in  locating smurf, PVC, j-boxes, and rebar.

 In addition, radar eliminated the unnecessary tearing of insulation under the deck that would have occurred from using x-ray. This resulted in providing additional savings for the client. In most locations it was imperative not to cut through any reinforcing bar.
