HOW WILL GPR FERRO SCANNING BENEFIT YOU?

Put simply, if you know exactly what is in the wall, slab, ground or column and where it is located, you will avoid hitting any pipework, steel reinforcing, services or structural supports. This prevention method is absolutely vital in making sure 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 ground, wall or slab area and provides expert report generation, evaluation and data analysis that is visible both in the field, including a rotatable 3D image post scan on an iPad, a 3D augmented reality view or raw data view. 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.
