If you run a business that regularly requires you to bring in GPR scanning services in the Inland Empire area of California, at one time or another, you may have contemplated purchasing your own scanning equipment. Maybe you’re a general contractor that does a lot of excavation work, and you’re tired of having to put your project on pause as you wait for someone to come out and scan the area you need to excavate. Or perhaps you’re a structural engineer who often needs to evaluate existing concrete slabs to see if they can support the additional loads your clients want to add to their buildings.
Paying for GPR scanning services every time you need a scan completed can probably start to get frustrating (and expensive) over time—especially when the work they do seems fairly straightforward. They come, they scan the area, they provide you with the results, and they leave (after collecting their fee, of course). You might have considered just buying your own GPR scanning equipment and figuring out how to complete the scans yourself. You may have even gone so far as to research new or used equipment to see how much it would set you back to purchase the equipment you would need to get the job done.
Here are two reasons why you may want to stick with working with a professional GPR scanning service in the Inland Empire:
GPR Scanning Services Can Provide Timely Service
If your main frustration with GPR scanning services in the Inland Empire is that they take too long to get to you, or that they don’t show up when they say they will, you just haven’t found the right company to work with!
At Enhanced Scanning, we provide rapid response times to all our customers. We understand that our customers’ projects often can’t move forward until we provide them with the information they need from a GPR scan, so we do our best to get to their projects as quickly as possible, and then we work efficiently and deliver prompt results.
One of the main benefits of using ground penetrating radar is that it allows us to deliver results quickly. We don’t have to take the data we collect back to our office for processing. Instead, it can be interpreted on site. This reduces the downtime on our customers’ projects.
Accurate Results from Expert GPR Scanning Technicians
Learing how to operate GPR scanning equipment isn’t the hard part when it comes to scanning for buried utilities or examining concrete slabs. The challenge is interpreting the data that the equipment puts out. GPR equipment doesn’t deliver clear pictures of what’s below the surface like an X-ray would. Instead, it produces a series of waves that then need to be deciphered. Learing how to interpret GPR data takes a substantial amount of training, as well as real-world experience.
At Enhanced Scanning, we invest a lot of time and resources in training our GPR technicians because we know our clients depend on us to provide them with accurate results. Unless you are going to heavily invest in learning how to interpret GPR data, we would strongly encourage you to hire an expert in this area. Doing so can help you avoid costly mistakes!
