An Overview of Concrete Scanning Equipment
Concrete scanning equipment is important and is designed for safe and non-destructive
evaluation of concrete structures. The GP8000 and GP8800 help to allow rapid on-site
imagining for coring, cutting, drilling as well as characterization of concrete slabs with
restricted or missing design drawings.
Concrete scanning equipment also makes the use of radio waves to locate the objects of
differing dielectric constant, respectively. Thus, materials such as metals, plastics, as well as
filling material could be located inside the concrete.
Concrete scanning equipment can scan concrete to depths of up to 0.7m where a cover meter
shall be restricted to 150-200mm. This system is simple to use and requires only one operator.
A number of people make the use of this equipment for purposes such as locating services,
rebar, and post-tensioning, respectively.
Listed below are the few benefits of concrete scanning equipment:
• The equipment is very safe as well as easy to use.
• The operators can be trained quickly in the use of concrete scanning equipment.
• The operations carried out as a result of concrete scanning equipment are
independent and self-contained.
• This kind of equipment is known to be a rapid return on investment.
Listed below are the important features of concrete scanning equipment:
• This kind of equipment comprises of line scanning for reconnaissance surveys.
• It also features grid scanning for detailed mapping with on-site 3D imaging.
• The equipment comprises a power cable detector.
• Concrete scanning equipment also includes a real-time location to carry out
embedded objects.
• Some of these instruments also include wireless report download straight from an
Ipad.
• Many brands also sell the concrete scanning equipment along with optional
attachments such as telescopic rods.
Concrete scanning is mostly an unforeseen requirement that is usually not factored in either
budget or program. Good concrete scanning equipment helps you to scan the concrete
elements meticulously so that you don’t have to face any problem in carrying out your
operations for later use. It is also recommended to rely on a good brand when you
buy concrete scanning equipment.
