Rebar & Post-Tension Cable Location
Professional GPR services for precise location and mapping of reinforcing steel and post-tension cables in concrete structures. Essential for safe modifications and structural analysis.
Critical Reinforcement Mapping
Understanding the location and layout of reinforcement in concrete structures is crucial for safe modifications, structural assessments, and engineering analysis. Our advanced GPR technology provides precise mapping of rebar and post-tension cables without damage.
Non-Destructive Detection
Locate reinforcement without drilling or damaging the concrete structure.
Accurate Depth Measurement
Precise depth information for safe cutting and modification planning.
Comprehensive Documentation
Detailed reports and CAD drawings for engineering and construction teams.
Why Locate Reinforcement Before Modifications?
Protect structural integrity and ensure safe construction practices with professional reinforcement mapping.
Prevent cutting critical structural elements that could compromise building integrity.
Accurate location and depth measurement of all reinforcement elements.
Avoid expensive repairs from accidental damage to post-tension systems.
See the complete reinforcement pattern before making any modifications.
Plan modifications efficiently with detailed reinforcement maps.
Detailed reports and CAD drawings for engineering analysis.
