Slab Investigation
Gather thickness information about existing concrete where conditions allow.
Concrete Assessment
Thickness & Void Detection.
Gather non-destructive information about concrete thickness, subsurface interfaces and anomalous responses that may warrant further investigation.

Concrete Investigation
Understand More About What You're Working With.
Where conditions allow, GPR can help estimate concrete thickness and identify subsurface responses that differ from surrounding material. This information can support engineers, contractors and project teams during investigation, renovation and planning work without immediately resorting to destructive testing.
GPR provides interpreted subsurface information.
Thickness estimates and anomalous responses depend on concrete conditions, accessible scan surfaces and the presence of a distinguishable subsurface interface or material contrast.
What GPR Can Help Investigate
✓
Estimated concrete slab thickness
where a suitable back-surface response
can be identified
✓
Anomalous responses that may be
consistent with voids or changes
in subsurface conditions
✓
Detectable changes between
material layers or interfaces
✓
Areas showing responses different
from the surrounding concrete
✓
Subsurface or base interfaces where
scan conditions and material contrast
permit interpretation
Common Applications
Structural Assessment Support
Provide additional non-destructive information for engineering review.
Slab-on-Grade Review
Investigate thickness and detectable subsurface interfaces in accessible areas.
Anomaly Investigation
Identify areas showing responses different from surrounding material.
Renovation Planning
Gather more information about existing concrete before planned modifications.
Construction Investigation
Support review of selected concrete areas where additional information is needed.
Understanding Thickness & Void Results
Concrete thickness values obtained from GPR are estimates and may benefit from calibration against a known thickness or reference point. An anomalous GPR response is not, by itself, confirmation of a void, honeycombing or another specific defect. Confirmation may require additional investigation or engineering review.
The Process
From Investigation Area to Useful Concrete Information.
A practical workflow designed around the investigation objective, accessible surface and concrete conditions.
Review
We review the project objective, available information and accessible investigation area.
Scan
GPR data is collected systematically across the agreed concrete surface.
Interpret
Thickness responses, interfaces and anomalous areas are reviewed where distinguishable.
Deliver
Agreed scan information, identified areas and/or project documentation are provided.
