STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS & SUBSURFACE INSPECTION
Accutek Radar Imaging provides subsurface inspection and analysis for a wide range of clients throughout the United States. Using the latest Ground Penetrating Radar equipment available, we are able to determine but not limited to…
- Locate embedded structural steel systems or utility services prior to concrete coring for unobstructed and safe penetration
- Overall concrete thickness of suspended or slab on grade
- QA/QC services to evaluate concrete condition, overall thickness, and possible voids in both elevated and slab on grade.
- Verify rebar and grout placement in CMU structures
- The location of possible voids or sinkholes
- UST Locating
- Private utility locating services for both traceable and non-traceable services for industrial, commercial, and residential clients alike.
ARI is frequently contracted to do site investigations using GPR to give contractors and property owners an accurate assessment of both concrete structures and subsurface conditions.
Our digital GPR structural and subsurface scanning services have saved our clients countless hours and repair costs by preventing damage to both subsurface existing subsurface structures while keeping employees safe and protected from unforeseen danger. Before you begin your next excavation, cutting, coring or directional drilling project, make sure you work with an experienced and professional GPR firm to ensure a safe working environment and avoid a construction catastrophe!
CONCRETE SCANNING & INSPECTION
Before starting a renovation of a concrete structure, it’s imperative to make sure you know what’s below the surface before you begin cutting, coring or drilling. Without utilizing GPR scanning or imaging, you run the very real risk of damaging rebar, post tension cables, embedded structural beams, and utility services either within or directly below a slab.
Knowing the precise location of these hidden objects is crucial for a safe renovation without setbacks and unexpected expenses. It also ensures structural integrity and minimizes possible downtime and eliminates untimely surprises in a safe and non-destructive manner.
Accutek Radar Imaging offers a detailed view of what’s within and beneath your concrete slab as well as a subsurface imaging throughout your property. This process yields real time results, which are not possible with traditional X-Ray methods and only requires access to one side of the areas to be inspected. Our GPR concrete scanning process is far more efficient and productive than traditional X-Ray and only requires access to one side of the slab. Utilizing GPR is also safe, and does not require the evacuation of the public or other personnel. It can be performed during normal business hours, keeping you on budget and on time!
Along with concrete slabs, our system offers a quick and efficient inspection of CMU block walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, columns, beams, decks, encasements, pylons, balconies, bridges, tunnels and more. We can identify metallic and non-metallic utilities, conduits, rebar, post tension cables and voids in and beneath slabs and slab on grade. GPR concrete scanning can also accurately measure slab thickness.
PRIVATE UTILITY LOCATING
Accutek Radar Imaging utilizes the best utility locating (EM) equipment and GPR equipment available, giving our clients every resource at our disposal to provide the most thorough and superior service available anywhere in the world today.
Using the latest GPR technology, ARI is able to accurately identify the location of utilities at your job site, ensuring a safe working environment while mitigating the risks of financial and timely setbacks.
Surprisingly, your state 811 system only locates public utility services which makes everything beyond the meter YOUR responsibility. They will not mark privately owned facilities. These privately owned utilities include electric, gas, sanitary, telecom and water services after the point in which the product is metered. Facilities such as hospitals, airports, business parks, industrial complexes and shopping malls and learning institutions each have privately owned infrastructure systems that connect throughout their facility.
The best way to avoid unwanted surprises during your next build or renovation is to use ARI’s cutting-edge GPR and utility locating services. After we locate these utility services, your team will have the information they need to safely and accurately drill, cut or excavate without damaging your valuable infrastructure. This insures your project remains on time, without the risk of injuries and unexpected repair costs.
