Concrete x-ray versus concrete scanning by ScanMan

Are you confused..? Well, you're probably not alone, the common industry term used for Ground Penetrating Radar is "Concrete X-ray," but it's not actually X-ray that is used. A more accurate description, Concrete Scanning or its formal name, Ground Penetrating Radar, is a well established non-destructive method of investigating the internal composition of many naturally occurring materials such as rocks, earth and gravels as well as man-made materials like brick, concrete and asphalt.

It can be used to detect metallic and non-metallic pipes, conduit, sewers, post tension cables, cables, cable ducts, voids, foundations, reinforcing in concrete and a whole host of other buried objects. It is also used to investigate the depth and make up of different strata layers. A common use has been to scan areas of land before excavation takes place. The benefits of which far outweigh the overall costs.

Scan Man's trained GPR Service Specialists are experienced in locating Rebar, Post Tension Cables, Tanks, Utilities, Voids, Pipe, Conduit, and underground objects, no matter the material composition by using the most advanced in ground penetrating radar technology in Australia today.
