Post Tension Cables in Concrete Beams

Vertex GPR recently performed a concrete scan for post-tension cables located in multiple concrete beams. The objective of this project was to find the elevation of the cables so that cores could be drilled between them and the ceiling. The cables were marked in red directly onto to beams along with the stirrups marked in black. This allowed for precise placement and execution of the cores without risk of a cable strike.

Concrete X-ray in Houston Texas

Vertex GPR was contracted to perform an investigation to determine the structural makeup of a concrete slab on grade. The concrete slab was thought to contain post-tension cables. However, once GPR scanning began, it was quickly determined that the slab was reinforced with one mat of rebar and grade beams. This information allowed the contractor to cut a trench rather than having to cut the floor in two locations and then horizontally excavate under the slab.

Conduits and Structural Beam Located in Elevated Deck

This past week Vertex GPR performed a structural scan in Houston, TX using Ground Penetrating Radar. The goal of this structural scan was to determine a safe location for a 6” core drill to be placed. After scanning the location, Vertex GPR determined that there were two conduits present along with a structural beam. The conduits and beam were marked out on the surface with appropriate colors and properly labeled.

Our goal is to present findings as accurately as possible and in a way that is clear to others that will be performing tasks in our scanned locations. For more information regarding our services, please visit us at VertexGPR.com
