GPR
SCANNING
What is it?
Concrete scanning is a non-destructive testing method used to investigate the internal structure of concrete. This technique employs ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and other technologies to locate rebar, post-tension cables, voids and conduits within the concrete, ensuring safe and informed construction or renovation projects.
Its benefits
The benefits of concrete scanning include minimizing the risk of damaging hidden utilities, improving project efficiency, and enhancing safety for workers. By utilizing concrete scanning, construction professionals can make better decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
Why Novacore?
At our company, we utilize cutting-edge Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology featuring dual-rotation antennas with cross-polarization. This advanced system enables us to see deeper beneath concrete surfaces, providing unparalleled clarity in locating and identifying objects embedded within. With the capability to penetrate up to 30 inches*, we ensure accurate results for your concrete inspection needs. Trust us to deliver reliable insights that enhance your project outcomes.
CONCRETE
CORING
What is it?
Core drilling is a precise method used to create clean, circular openings in concrete, asphalt, masonry, and other hard materials. Using diamond-tipped drill bits, this process allows for holes of varying diameters and depths to be drilled for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, anchoring, and structural testing applications, all while maintaining the integrity of the surrounding structure.
Its benefits
-
Precision: Achieves clean, accurate holes with smooth edges.
-
Versatility: Can drill horizontally, vertically, or at an angle to suit project needs.
-
Efficiency: Quick and reliable method to create openings without damaging nearby structures.
-
Reduced Noise & Vibration: Advanced equipment minimizes disruption to active job sites.
-
Safety: Controlled technique that reduces risk of structural damage.
