Learn how concrete scanning can benefit you.
Knowing what’s under the area you intend to dig or break is critical to ensuring that your construction project runs as quickly, safely, and smoothly as possible. When you use ground penetrating radar (GPR) to test for underground hazards, you’ll soon realize that this technology is one of the best things to ever happen for construction. GPR improves projects in a wide variety of ways and today we’re going over our top four reasons why.
Improve Safety
If you hit an unexpected object while cutting concrete, you’re putting staff, passerby, structural integrity, and equipment at risk. If a live conduit is struck, for instance, you could cause a substantial electrical event that could result in serious injuries. Cutting post cable tension is another serious threat, as it can blow out and snap causing loss of limb, death and a wide variety of damages.
Reduce Time
Along with the danger involved, if you hit something while cutting concrete, it may result in severe delays that cost you time and money. If the item you hit needs to be dealt with, or if your equipment needs repairs, that lost time can add up.
Save Money
From repair and replacement costs to workman’s compensation, making mistakes when cutting concrete can cost you a significant amount of money. Comparatively, hiring a GPR team is a very affordable way to ensure that your money stays where it’s most useful.
Increase Accuracy
When your site is mapped and scanned for hazards, you’ll be better able to plan for your course of action with specificity and care. This comes with the comfort of knowing exactly what you’re getting into. Overall, GPR offers a host of benefits that just can’t be denied, it’s a quick and easy way to ensure that your next project runs smoothly.
