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.

Subsurface Utility Locating In Houston Texas

Having a good understanding of where your onsite utilities are at is critical when performing ground disturbance projects. Vertex GPR recently performed a utility locate within a small area of a construction project. Within the area scanned, the detected utilities included the facilities gas main, sanitary sewer main, secondary electric, telecommunications and site lighting.

Vertex GPR marked each of the detected underground utilities out with spray paint and pin flags. This assisted with safety and provided a visual understanding to how the underground utilities were routed.

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
