- Concrete GPR
Before going ahead with digging or drilling, it is essential to know what utilities and hazards lie below the surface. Concrete scanning is a technique that is used to find utilities, hazards, or other subsurface material through Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Locating the subsurface materials is important both for the safety and continuation of the project. Having said that, why is it important to identify these materials? Let’s find out!
PRIORITIZE SAFETY
When cutting or digging into concrete blindly, chances are you are going to meet utility objects that could be hazardous. Look at it this way, when you unintentionally break a utility object, you’ll probably stall some services, or even worse, a fatal injury may occur. For instance, cutting into a live conduit might cause the technicians to get electrocuted or a post-tension may snap when cut due to the release tension.
PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS
Yes, protecting the lives of the individuals working on-site comes first — however, you are operating a business and you need to protect it. Interrupting underground utility services may cause you to incur out-of-pocket costs in the way of penalties and also loss of interruption. When these fines and penalties happen regularly, they add up over time and cost your business money. Get a professional locator and save yourself from unnecessary headaches.
SAVE YOURSELF TIME
“Measure twice and cut once” cannot get any more practical than when cutting through concrete. Concrete GPR gives you the advantage of knowing exactly where to cut or drill so as to avoid underground objects. Cutting through underground utility cables will not only cost you money, but may also cause your project to stall. Get professional locators to help you locate these objects so you can avoid delays in your project.
ACCURACY
This is a very important benefit of concrete GPR and can make or break any given project. It also gives you the confidence to move forward with the project because you know that the layout regions are safe for drilling or cutting. Identifying these utility objects beforehand will allow you to move along with your projects without the fear of hazards.
You cannot afford to play guessing games when lives, money, and time are on the line. While it may appear as an additional cost, you will have saved lives and money in the long run. If you are in search of concrete scanning services in Colorado, get in touch with us.
