HOW WILL GPR FERRO SCANNING BENEFIT YOU?
Put simply, if you know exactly what is in the slab, column, ground or wall and where it is located, you will avoid hitting any steel reinforcing, structural supports, pipework or services. This prevention method is absolutely vital in ensuring that costs are kept to a minimum and the health and safety of all involved is prioritised.
HOW DOES THE GPR FERRO SCAN WORK?
Utilising pulse technology, the GP8800 and GP8000, manufactured by industry experts Proceq, detects anything in the required wall, ground or slab area and provides expert evaluation, report generation and data analysis that is visible both in the field, including a 3D augmented reality view, raw data view or a rotatable 3D image post scan on an iPad. This will also include a fully generated report that is sent back to the office. Downloaded information can then be used to create detailed documents with data and diagrams for analysis by our GPR engineers in real time.
