Proceq GP8000 Scan
Don’t risk drilling through important pipework, utility services or structural supports
We use the most accurate and effective Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology and Proceq scanning equipment on the market today, the Proceq GP8000 to ensure that you know every hidden aspect of the structure before any drilling, coring work or design changes are made.
Before undertaking any drilling or structural changes, it's absolutely vital that you know exactly where pipework and other important structural features are located along with utility services. Our GPR equipment will tell you exactly that. Able to locate all kinds of objects in multiple layers up to a maximum of 800mm in cured concrete, bridge decks, pavements and natural ground, meaning you can be safe in the knowledge that you are nowhere near important structural supports, vital pipework or utility services.

These images show what other perspectives we can include within our reports. This shows the rebar found in the slab in a rendered model, and displays the colour gradients that we can apply to indicate different depths of the rebar.
1. This is the first view of the previous picture, except this indicates a 2D version of the reinforcement in the sab.
2. This is another example of the rebar found on site. It indicates where the reinforcement is in the slab and once in the augmented reality view it can be raised out of the slab to see a better perspective of the depths and pattern.
3. An alternative view of the same section of reinforcement which shows the underside of the rebar which allows for a more in depth structural analysis by the clients engineer for the slab in question.
HOW WILL GPR SCANNING BENEFIT YOU?
If you know exactly what is in the wall, slab, column or ground, and where it is, you avoid hitting any steel reinforcing, pipework, services or structural supports. This prevention method is crucial in ensuring costs are kept to a minimum and the Health and Safety of all involved is prioritised. Using the latest software available Southern Drilling Ltd can produce a detailed digital report indicating locations scanned and the specific details for every location. This includes photographic evidence as well as the 3D models of what we find. This will be sent in a PDF format and can be issued within hours of completing the survey.
HOW DOES THE GPR SCAN WORK?
Using pulse technology, the GP8000, manufactured by industry experts Proceq, detects anything in the required ground, slab or wall area and provides expert data analysis, evaluation and report generation that are 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 also includes a full generated report sent to the office. Downloaded information can be used to create detailed documents with diagrams & data for analysis by our GPR engineers in real time.
WHAT ARE GPR SCANS IDEAL FOR?
GPR scanning is regularly used in a variety of different applications and for a wide range of customers, such as:
- Nuclear Power Industry
- Excavation Works
- Highway Inspection
- Communications
- Power Networks
Applications include:
- Drilling and coring in concrete structures
- Marking the layout of embedded objects in structures required for drilling, including rebar and conduits
- Non-destructive inspection of bridges e.g. the location of tendons
- Locating objects in the floor, including heating pipes
First Class GPR
The pictures display what our GPR software can deliver on site and in person. Both views are of an augmented reality view of the rebar found in the slab. The left is a 3D model of the rebar which has been elevated so the client can see a better perspective in real time what is in the slab. The picture on the right is a 2D coloured version of the rebar found in the slab.
