GPR Concrete Scanning with Core & Saw

Core & Saw has been at the forefront of engineering and construction services, utilizing cutting-edge technologies to deliver exceptional results for more than 15 years. Our commitment to innovation and practical experience keeps us ahead in the industry. Among our suite of services is GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) Scanning, a non-invasive and non-destructive technique used to examine land, buildings, or structures. This method requires skilled professionals to interpret the data, and our concrete contractors are well-equipped with the expertise needed for accurate assessments.

Opportunities with GPR Scanning

A major benefit of GPR scanning is its non-intrusive nature, allowing for the evaluation of soil or structural conditions without physical disruption. It's an ideal solution for assessing foundations or identifying hidden issues, such as underground utilities, while preserving the integrity of the site.

Concrete Scanning

GPR concrete scanning employs tools with replaceable modules that emit and capture electromagnetic signals coupled with a recording device to process the data. This technique can:

• Detect voids like karst cavities beneath foundations.
• Locate utilities, steel beams, and reinforcements.
• Analyze soil composition and rock layering.
• Determine groundwater levels and pinpoint pipeline leaks.

Modern GPR devices can transmit data to smartphones, tablets, or laptops, enhancing portability and ease of use.

X-ray of Concrete

For a detailed analysis of concrete structures, X-ray technology offers high precision without causing damage. It involves placing a radiation source on one side of the concrete and a detector on the opposite side, providing clear images that minimize interpretation errors. Core & Saw is fully equipped to perform these scans, delivering crucial information for the assessment of older buildings slated for renovation.

Service Locations and Expertise

Initially based in Aurora, we've expanded our services to include Colorado and Texas, becoming experts in concrete work. Our GPR and X-ray scanning services are in high demand due to our specialists' extensive knowledge and the accurate insights we provide about concrete conditions. We operate 24/7, allowing clients to schedule site visits at their convenience. Our dispatch team provides preliminary cost estimates, with final pricing confirmed after a detailed assessment by our specialists at the site.

Common Applications of Non-destructive Research

• Construction of New Facilities: GPR scanning provides a comprehensive understanding of a site's characteristics, which is essential for laying a solid foundation.
• Inspection of Structures: Ground radar scanning is used to evaluate the condition of infrastructure like airport runways and highways.
• Reconstruction and Overhaul: X-ray and GPR scanning facilitate accurate planning for repairs.
• Troubleshooting: These methods identify defects in utility networks and uncover unauthorized connections.
• Household Projects: Homeowners rely on us to confirm that no underground obstacles will hinder new construction or landscaping.
