Rebar & Post-Tension Cable Location
Precise mapping of reinforcing steel and post-tension cables in concrete structures using advanced GPR technology. Essential for safe cutting, drilling, and structural modifications.
Professional Reinforcement Mapping
Accurate location of rebar and post-tension cables is critical for safe concrete modification and structural assessment. Our advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology provides precise mapping of reinforcing steel, post-tension cables, and other embedded elements within concrete structures.
Post-tension cables are particularly critical to locate as cutting them can result in catastrophic structural failure. Our specialized GPR equipment and experienced technicians can detect and map these vital structural elements with exceptional accuracy, ensuring your project proceeds safely.
Whether you're planning renovations, installing new systems, or conducting structural assessments, our rebar and cable location services provide the detailed reinforcement maps you need for informed decision-making and safe execution.
What We Can Locate
Our advanced GPR technology can precisely locate and map various types of reinforcement and embedded elements
Precise location and mapping of reinforcing steel bars, including size, spacing, and depth within concrete structures.
Critical detection of post-tension cables and tendons that must not be cut or damaged during construction activities.
Detection and mapping of welded wire mesh reinforcement commonly used in slabs and walls.
Location of prestressed concrete elements and strands that are under tension and critical to structural integrity.
Detection of embedded anchor bolts, plates, and other metallic elements within concrete structures.
Comprehensive mapping of reinforcement patterns, spacing, and coverage to support structural analysis.
Critical Applications
Rebar and post-tension cable location is essential for various construction and engineering projects
Safe Cutting & Drilling
Before any cutting, drilling, or coring operations in concrete, it's essential to know the location of reinforcement. Cutting post-tension cables can result in catastrophic structural failure and serious injury.
- Core drilling for new openings
- Wall and slab cutting operations
- Anchor bolt installation
- Utility penetration planning
Structural Assessment
Understanding the actual reinforcement configuration is crucial for structural analysis, load calculations, and assessment of structural capacity and condition.
- Structural condition evaluations
- Load capacity assessments
- Seismic retrofit planning
- As-built documentation
Quality Control & Verification
Verify that reinforcement has been installed according to specifications and building codes. Ensure proper spacing, coverage, and placement of reinforcing elements.
- Construction quality verification
- Code compliance documentation
- Reinforcement placement verification
- Coverage and spacing confirmation
Why Accurate Rebar Location Matters
Prevent Structural Damage
Cutting post-tension cables or critical reinforcement can cause catastrophic structural failure and endanger lives.
Ensure Worker Safety
Knowing the location of reinforcement prevents accidents and injuries during cutting and drilling operations.
Avoid Costly Repairs
Accidental damage to reinforcement can result in expensive repairs and project delays.
