GROUND is utilizing a MALA RoadCart GPR unit, which is designed for high-speed road measurements. GROUND's RoadCart is equipped with two shielded antennas, 2.3GHz and 800MHz. The GPR relies on electromagnetic waves/electromagnetic energy reflection from the material/object beneath the antennas to obtain a trace, and multiple traces create a 2-D color image called a Scan.

Applications

• Determining pavement/slab thickness on grade or suspended
• Locating buried voids/cavities, underground storage tanks, sewers, foundations, ancient landfills, pipelines and cables.
• Characterizing bedrock, ice, and internal structure of floors/walls
• Examining the internal steelwork in concrete
• Rebar and tension cable location and depth
• Slab thickness on grade and suspended
• Location of non-metallic and metallic conduits and other embedded non-structural features such as fiber networks, in-floor heating elements, and plumbing
• Detection of voids and variation in the concrete matrix
• Inspection of other reinforced concrete structures
• Measure slab thickness
• Measure bridge deck thickness
• Void detection and location
• Concrete inspection
• Structure inspection
• Bridge deck condition assessment
• Condition assessment
• Determining concrete cover depth of new structure
