If you live in Riverside County, you probably don’t have to drive too far from your home to see construction taking place. Whether it’s a new development of homes, new warehouses, or existing buildings being renovated, there’s a lot going on in Riverside! Before the start of a new project, smart engineers and contractors call in a company like ours that provides GPR scanning services in Riverside to scan the area for buried hazards, evaluate existing concrete structures for stability, and more.
If you’ve ever excavated on a property before, or had to disturb a concrete structure, you know that running into hazards is a common occurrence. Maybe you accidentally hit a water line or ran into some rebar in the concrete that you didn’t anticipate being there. You may have gotten lucky and not caused any damage, but that’s not always how it goes.
While damaging something like a PVC pipe is a fairly easy fix that will only slightly delay your project, other incidents can cause much more extensive damage and delays. Cutting through rebar or a post-tensioned cable could harm the structural integrity of a concrete slab, and the building as a whole. Accidentally hitting a gas line could cause an explosion, damaging not only the surrounding structures, but also severely injuring or killing anyone nearby. These types of incidents can be prevented by having the area scanned for buried or embedded hazards prior to the start of a project.
Our GPR scanning services in Riverside are available to anyone who needs them. You don’t have to be a contractor or engineer. You could be a private property owner who wants to proceed safely with a project, or who just wants to know where everything on your property is located. When you bought your property, you may have been given building plans that showed you where to find buried utility lines, tanks, wells, etc., but those plans likely won’t be entirely accurate if any renovations have been made in the years since. Enhanced Scanning can come to your property and use our ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment to scan any areas in question and provide you with a document that indicates where everything is located.
We are experts at finding the unseen! We can even find things that other scanning companies might miss. Our team is extremely thorough and always uses the best tools for the job. Many other scanning services in Riverside use GPR exclusively. While GPR is great technology, we also have other tools at our disposal for locating items that GPR may struggle to find.
Enhanced Scanning is headquartered in Riverside County and can get to any job in the area quickly—usually within 24 hours. Contact our office today to schedule service or to get your initial questions answered.
