The thermal camera we use can detect changes in temperature as small as <0.1°C with accuracy with 2°C. When the system is heated near to or after the start of the project there is a contrast between the temperature of the tubing and the concrete slab.

“Time is a primary currency traded on any given construction project. At Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, our everyday efficiency in operations allows us to respond to the immediate needs of our customers, often within 24 hours or less.” (www.gprsinc.com)

Our state of the art GSSI GPR equipment sends radio signals into concrete that send the data back instantly for real-time interpretation. The radio waves are safe for workplaces so there is no need for any stop in work for floors below or around the scan areas. GPRS also uses the RD-8100 Locator to locate live power and radio frequency (RF) signals underground. We can also detect utilities in or under concrete using our transmitter box which sends out a frequency via induction or conduction with an exposed or known surface utility line.

GPRS was contacted by a local construction company to scan for suspect radiant heat tubing at a museum in Chicago, IL. The contractor needed to find the heat tubing in order to safely install 2” diameter anchors for future building projects. GPRS was able to pair thermal imaging and GPR technologies in order to locate the heat tubing for a smooth drilling.
