Concrete Sawing, Scanning & Coring Specialists
Advanced GPR Concrete Scanning Services in Victoria
Our GPR or ground penetrating radar concrete scanning services at J. Lee Diamond Drilling Ltd. in Victoria make cutting and coring safer and more efficient. We use GPR to find concrete hazards before cutting, coring, or breaking, reducing the risk of accidents and project delays. After scanning your site, our professional scanner operator will show you the results and discuss them with you. While the usage of our scanning service is entirely up to the customer, we recommend scanning the concrete if there is any doubt about what could lie beneath. Your safety is our main priority, so please do not hesitate to write or contact us.
Ground Penetrating Radar
Cutting, coring, or breaking a concrete slab is a standard in new construction and renovation projects. This can be hazardous since rebar, pipes, post-tension cables, and electrical conduits are all at risk. Concrete drilling, sawing, or breaking without any awareness of the elements present under the concrete surface is risky. Concrete scanning can help avoid equipment failure, concrete structure damage, or, worst of all crew injury that otherwise might jeopardize your ability to complete the job on schedule.
State-of-the-art Technology
J. Lee Diamond Drilling Ltd. uses the most cutting-edge GPR technology available, allowing you to undertake core drilling, saw cutting, and concrete breaking without the risk of accidents, injuries, or delays. Our skilled team can scan and find subsurface features with pinpoint accuracy, reducing the risk of damage to workers and keeping your construction project on track.
Safety Is Our Priority
GPR helps us find subsurface features while cutting, coring, and breaking concrete, protecting the concrete's integrity and strength. We mark the position of a subsurface feature once it is located. This guides concrete cutters and drillers to break concrete effectively without causing damage to tools or putting themselves in danger. Using concrete scanning services from J. Lee Diamond Drilling Ltd. is a proactive step toward maintaining a safe work environment that fulfils deadlines.
GPR for Detecting Subsurface Features
Before cutting, coring, or breaking, it is vital to determine the nature and position of subsurface features. Within concrete, there are several standard subsurface features. We use GPR data to assess the position and types of elements present under the surface, allowing you to drill, cut, or break effectively while protecting the structure's integrity and eliminating the need for patching or other costly repairs.
Detection of Rebar
Steel rebar is an essential component of every concrete slab's structural strength. Hundreds of feet of rebar may be stored in a single concrete slab. We can use GPR to find subsurface rebar and rebar patterns and accurately label their positions, allowing you to cut, core, or break the concrete safely.
Detection of Pipes and Conduits
Electrical wires housed in conduits are frequently routed through concrete slabs, posing a shock hazard. Not only are they dangerous, but severing electrical cables might result in a power outage. In terms of both time and money, this is a significant inconvenience. Our professional team can determine the position of pipes and conduits using GPR, eliminating errors when it comes time to cut, core, or break concrete.
Post-tension Cables
If post-tension cables are severed, they might damage the concrete structure and endanger the safety of the on-site workers. We may utilize GPR to find post-tension wires, reducing safety risks and preserving the concrete's integrity.
Deterioration and Void Detection
Due to erosion, compaction, and pipe ruptures, voids and air spaces come about in concrete over time. The structural integrity of concrete slabs is compromised by holes and general degradation and such flaws are undetected without specialist scanning equipment. We can utilize GPR to scan for voids and clearly indicate their positions, allowing construction to continue without any fear of collapse.
