| Americore technicians use state of the art radar equipment
to scan a range of surface types. The radar units are
capable of determining the location and depth of objects
embedded in the surface. In addition, the equipment can
detect voids beneath a surface or the deterioration of
concrete. Scan able surfaces can vary from drywall to
marble; however, the most commonly scanned surfaces are
concrete and earth. |
|
Concrete Applications |
Ground Penetrating radar is used to:
- Determine the location and depth of
reinforcing steel
- Determine the location and depth of post
tension cables
- Determine the location and depth of
electrical conduit prior to saw cutting or
core drilling
- Locate voids under slabs
- locate deterioration in slabs
|
|
Earth Applications |
Ground Penetrating radar is used to:
- Determine the location and depth of
underground utilities
- Determine the location and depth of
underground storage tanks or buried drums
- Determine the location and depth of
unmarked grave sites
- Locate voids underground

Additional Services |
- Reports of what is located under the
surface
- 3D image reporting capabilities

What Make Us Different |
- Americore technicians complete
comprehensive training. Each technician
undergoes thorough instruction regarding the
operation of the equipment, as well as the
reading of the data.
- Americore technicians complete
exhaustive safety training. All
Technicians are OSHA certified, and complete
mandatory monthly safety classes.
- Ground penetrating radar services are
cheaper. Because set up time is minimal
and data can be gathered quickly, GPR
services are less expensive than radiography
(x-ray).

Benefits of using ground penetrating radar vs.
radiography (x-ray) |
- Ground penetrating radar does not use
radiation. Thus, there is no need to clear
the area being scanned.
- Set up time is nearly immediate.
- Data is gathered quickly and results
are produced immediately.
- Any size can be scanned and the
equipment only needs to be set up once.
- Ground penetrating radar can scan
hard to reach areas.
- Thousands of square feet of area can
be scanned in one day.
