How do you scan concrete?

How do you scan concrete?

Reinforced concrete is extremely durable and requires little maintenance. It has good thermal mass, and is inherently fire resistant. Rebar is generally made from 100% recycled scrap, and at the demolition stage, the concrete and rebar are capable of being separated so that the steel can be recycled.

What is GPR used for?

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. This nondestructive method uses electromagnetic radiation in the microwave band (UHF/VHF frequencies) of the radio spectrum, and detects the reflected signals from subsurface structures.

What is rebar locator?

Concrete Rebar Locator. Rebar locators are used to find the position of steel reinforcement bars in concrete structures and to measure their concrete cover. Certain type of reinforcement such as glass fibre rebar, post-tension or pretension strand will require a Ground Penetrating Radar systems to locate correctly.

What is a Pachometer?

A pachometer (covermeter) is used to detect the presence of ferromagnetic materials (e.g. steel and iron) embedded in concrete. Its primary use is to determine the thickness of the concrete cover over the steel reinforcement, hence the name, covermeter.

How can you tell steel from concrete?

Rebar locators are used to find the position of steel reinforcement bars in concrete structures and to measure their concrete cover. The certain type of reinforcement such as glass fibre rebar, post-tension or pretension strand will require a Ground Penetrating Radar systems to locate correctly.
