In construction, engineering, and infrastructure projects, knowing what lies beneath the surface is essential for safety and efficiency. Tedex’s Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology provides high-precision, non-destructive subsurface imaging, allowing professionals to detect hidden utilities, reinforcements, and voids without invasive drilling or coring. Whether you’re planning a new build, renovation, or structural assessment, our GPR scanning services offer real-time insights that prevent costly errors, improve safety, and streamline project timelines.
What is Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)?
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an advanced subsurface scanning method that uses electromagnetic waves to detect objects, voids, and anomalies within materials like concrete, asphalt, and soil. High-frequency signals are transmitted into the surface, and the reflected waves create a detailed map of hidden structures.
Unlike traditional methods that require invasive procedures like drilling or coring, GPR delivers precise data with minimal disruption, making it an essential tool for engineers, contractors, and project managers who need accurate, real-time information to make informed decisions.
Why Choose Tedex’s GPR Technology?
High-Precision Subsurface Detection
Tedex’s GPR systems allow for the accurate identification of critical structural components, including:
- Reinforcement bars (rebar) – Ensures structural integrity by preventing damage during modifications.
- Post-tension cables – Locates stress-bearing cables to avoid cutting risks.
- Electrical conduits & plumbing lines – Identifies buried utilities to prevent costly disruptions.
- Voids & cracks in concrete – Detects potential weaknesses that could lead to long-term damage.
- Underground utilities – Maps pipes, tanks, and infrastructure elements without excavation.
By using GPR technology, construction teams can accurately plan modifications while minimizing risks and preventing unexpected delays.
Non-Destructive & Time-Efficient Scanning
Traditional concrete assessment methods often involve drilling, coring, or excavation, which can damage structures and increase project costs. Tedex’s GPR scanning provides a fast, non-invasive alternative that:
- Reduces project downtime by eliminating unnecessary exploratory drilling.
- Lowers repair and restoration costs by preventing accidental damage to subsurface elements.
- Ensures a cleaner, safer work environment by avoiding destructive testing methods.
Enhanced Safety & Risk Prevention
One of the most significant risks in construction is striking hidden utilities or reinforcements during excavation or drilling. Tedex’s GPR scanning technology eliminates uncertainty, helping teams:
- Avoid costly and dangerous utility strikes, ensuring a safe working environment.
- Comply with industry regulations by conducting thorough subsurface investigations.
- Protect structural integrity by identifying potential weaknesses before modifications begin.
By detecting hidden hazards early, GPR reduces the likelihood of accidents, structural failures, and legal liabilities.
Real-Time Data & High-Resolution Imaging
Our state-of-the-art GPR systems provide immediate, high-resolution imaging, allowing for on-the-spot analysis and decision-making. With real-time data interpretation, our expert technicians can:
- Generate detailed subsurface maps that highlight potential risks.
- Provide clear reports for engineers, contractors, and project managers.
- Help teams make informed modifications with confidence.
Fast and accurate subsurface imaging ensures that projects stay on track and within budget.
Applications of Tedex’s GPR Technology
Ground Penetrating Radar is used across multiple industries to improve safety and project efficiency. Some of its most common applications include:
- Construction & Renovation – Detect hidden utilities and reinforcements before cutting or coring.
- Structural Assessments – Evaluate the condition of slabs, columns, and beams for integrity.
- Utility Locating – Identify buried electrical lines, pipes, and sewer systems to avoid accidental strikes.
- Infrastructure Inspections – Assess bridges, tunnels, and roadways for potential weaknesses.
- Heritage & Archaeological Surveys – Detect historical structures and artifacts without excavation.
