It’s no secret that long-standing buildings hardly remain exactly the same as their original designs. As more rooms or features are added on, the original design becomes less and less accurate—which is when one need for an “as-built” drawing emerges. This drawing, also known as a red-line or record drawing, is simply a drawing that […]
We like to think of ourselves as ground penetrating radar aficionados. We’re more than just utility scanners. We’re a team that’s truly passionate about the technology, and we die a little inside every time we hear someone say, “GPR is just a fancy metal detector.” The uses of GPR are far more powerful than those […]
Our latest project doing concrete scanning in Alaska presented the opportunity to put our GPR equipment and skills to use in an isolated, rural location.
There’s always exciting new technology and trends emerging in the global excavation industry. Here’s what we have our eye on right now.
We’re experts at using ground penetrating radar on archaeological sites. On this job, we completed a GPR scan in less than ideal conditions.
Have you heard about 5G street lights? They’re basically just modified street lights enabled with 5G technology. Instead of using a separate tower or facility to provide 5G, companies can use 5G street lights instead. Pretty cool stuff. But, to do that, those companies have to first hire an underground utility locator to ensure that […]
Choosing the right GPR antenna might sound simple, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. You have to know what you need. Otherwise, you could spend a lot of money on a tool that doesn’t work well for what you’re trying to do. Think of it this way. There are thousands of artists […]
GPR scanning can be a solitary trade, especially for those GPR professionals that are flying solo. In a recent LinkedIn post, we talked about a gift we were making for our true love: the ground penetrating radar (GPR) industry. We spent over two-and-a-half years creating and refining this present — and it’s finally ready to […]
Most people who visit this city park ? would never know that under the tennis courts and concrete slab is a massive underground water tank in need of a seismic upgrade. But this subterranean municipal reservoir is where many of those visitors actually get their water from. No one had been inside this water tank […]
Anyone in the construction industry knows that building codes exist for a reason. So, if the engineer says that rebar must be placed a specific distance apart in a concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall, the structural integrity of the building depends on contractors following those specifications to the letter. But, sometimes, unscrupulous contractors looking to […]
