Utility Mapping Courtyard Drain Pipes
Problem An open air courtyard with approximately 80 drains is experiencing poor flow and water backup from a random assortment of drains. An adjacent roof drain is backing up as well, and is presumed to connect to the same drainage system. The subsurface piping and connections between these drains is unknown and has made it […]

Locating PEX tubes in concrete is just another day at the office for us. On this project, we marked up the location of all PEX tubing in an 18′ x 60′ area. The tube layout is great. It wraps around some existing equipment from the original installation with unusual bends and whorls. Everything went great […]

We were called to ensure the area was clear of high voltage conduits prior to excavation. With our expertise and cutting edge GPR imaging equipment, it should have been a quick one-and-done. Years of experience, however, has taught us to never underestimate a project, especially a very old concrete slab. The good news: there weren’t any […]

(read more)Why Concrete GPR?
Concrete seems simple to people outside the construction world, but really is a complex synergy of engineering and construction. When executed with expertise and precision, it is incredibly strong and reliable. As technology advances, concrete structures become increasingly complex, continually raising the bar of performance and expectation.
