Exaro Implements Top notch concrete scanning through the help of ground penetrating radar in the bay area

Concrete Scanning is the ultimately safest way for detecting underground utilities and rebar to avoid possible hazards in the process of drilling or excavating. Exaro is an example to use this technology.

Burlingame, CA (prHWY.com) January 30, 2013 - Ground Penetrating Radar allows the civil engineers & contractors to view the existing rebar, post tension cables and utilities embedded in concrete structures to prevent damage during retrofit work requiring drilling or other.

Concrete Scanning operations are carried out by rebar scanners based on ground penetrating radar technology. With this kind of technology it becomes easier to find out post tension cables & rebar inside concrete before drilling it. During duct work, plumbing, sewerage digging, electrical fitting installation and plenty of other activities of the same genre installation become more effective & efficient if making use of this GPR system technology.
* The technique is really very simple; all that is required is to identify the area where drilling is to take place on the structure then perform a grid scan to identify the location of rebar, post tension cables followed by laying out the drilling locations away from structural rebar and or post tension cables. This method of drilling reduces patch or repair work by not having to move from a drilled hole because rebar was encountered. It also because it is non-invasive, it protects the structural integrity of the structure.


* Essential services like healthcare facilities, shopping malls, power plants, maintenance facilities, big factories involved with manufacturing need not be kept shut, in order to carry out the cutting and drilling work. For all the facilities to run without any interruption ground penetrating radar (GPR) seem the best solution because it can prevent damage to an embedded utility for example and impact / shut down operations.


* On the job professional hazards are reduced, as well as unnecessary delay in work and physical accidents are minimized to the most; especially if electrical conduits are embedded in concrete structures. The best part of this amazing technology if performed correctly and with high end equipment that provides good accuracy; not like some low end equipment with low accuracy, is it protect the original structural design and utilities from damage without damaging the existing surface.

* Due to this concrete scanning technology, you are also capable of detecting the empty spaces formed under the floors of industrial buildings during concrete pouring. Finding out the gaps under the floor, the buildings can be taken care of properly and perilous accidents are avoided on the go.
The basic goal of this system remains to accurately locate the location of rebar, post tension cables and embedded utilities as part of any building wall and or floor and layout drilling pattern to avoid it. Prevention is always the best solution than encountering a hazard creating damage and subsequently paying for the damages / losses. This can be accomplished by a rebar scanner of high quality that locates effectively and accurately.

There are various kinds of ground penetrating radar scanners and a variety of manufacturers. Knowing the quality and accuracy of each along with the pros and cons is essential to providing excellent results.. Utilising the best of them enables to ensure accuracy can avoid poor results and possibly rupture or damage to public utilities like water lines, gas pipelines and electric as well as telephone creating customer service disruption by avoiding an accident where workers dig through them and snap the lines.

Solving the above kind of issues was difficult before the concrete scanners entered into the market. X-ray was the most common way of attempting to find these utilities, rebar and post tension cables. The cost of X-ray is very expensive; has delayed results and takes a long time; therefore, not cost-effective. Ground penetrating radar made things easier and a lot more convenient for people working in the construction and civil engineering sector. You don't have to be a civil engineer to work with such a useful tool, but some solid training on the technology and use of ground penetrating radar is key to good results.

Getting an opportunity to work with the most competent service provider is no easy job. There are a variety of service providers but the quality of service varies significantly along with the quality of equipment utilized; therefore, selecting a high quality provider may be the biggest challenge in getting quality results to ensure your project is not negatively impacted costing you lots of money. Ground radars are the best options to see through concrete and avoid costly damage when drilling.

EXARO is going the extra mile to ensure no underground utility goes undiscovered in project location, which is critical to a successful project. The company has a dedicated project team that delivers excellence with a sense of urgency in utility locating with use of above said technologies, at competitive pricing, EXARO Technologies now offers quality and efficiency to the Southern California community.
