GPR time-slice of reinforcement in a concrete slab

Concrete · Slab

GPR scanning of concrete, slabs and embedded services.

Same array we use in the street. A different target: mesh, fibre, thickness and the hole you want to cut.

Rebar grids, conduits, voids. Imaged in plan and section, with the limits of the scan stated. This is the slab job — not street GPR, not tomography as a method essay.

A slab is a volume, not a guess at the first bar

Concrete scanning with GPR can show reinforcement layout, embedded services and void indicators. Multiarray acquisition lets us read that as a time-slice — a plan at depth — not a single noisy line.

Aus-OMI uses the same Stream DP workflow we use in the street: dense coverage, tomography, evidence next to the call. Core holes and penetrations get a better brief.

What we will not claim

Dense mesh, steel fibre and thickness all bound the result. A scan is not a structural certificate. We report what the radar supports, and we report where it does not.

Where it is used

  • Penetrations and core locations in slabs
  • Embedded services before cutting
  • Void indicators in floors and pavements

Limits we will say out loud

  • Heavy reinforcement can mask what sits beneath it.
  • GPR does not replace a structural engineer’s assessment.

Equipment is how we get there. The product is a better understanding of the site before you excavate, design or decide.
