Have you ever needed to have your concrete slab analyzed but found it difficult to find concrete scanning services that do more than just locate rebar? This is a common challenge. When you first start your research for concrete scanning services in Corona, California, it may appear that you have a wealth of options. However, when you start calling around, you might find that many of the companies advertising that they offer concrete scanning services can only really locate the rebar embedded in your slab, and maybe some utility lines as well.
Many contractors and property owners need more information than that. Yes, it’s important to know where rebar and utilities are located so you can avoid them when disturbing the concrete, but prior to starting any sort of project that involves your existing concrete slab, you may also need information on the structural integrity of the concrete or the depth of cover. For this, you’ll need a holistic concrete structural analysis.
When you need a complete understanding of your concrete, it’s important to work with a company like Enhanced Scanning that utilizes more than just ground penetrating radar (GPR). GPR is a great tool for finding many things embedded in concrete, but it’s not always the best one for gathering other information that could be vital to your project. For example, if you wanted to measure the strength of your concrete, we might use a rebound hammer, or if you needed to know the condition of your rebar, we could do an eddy current analysis to see if it detects any damage to the rebar caused by corrosion. Or maybe you want to know if there are any voids or honeycombing in your concrete slab. In addition to GPR, we could also do ultrasonic concrete testing.
Before we start analyzing your concrete, we will talk with you and about your upcoming project to find out what type of information you need before diving into the analysis. If you only need to know where the rebar and utilities are located, then we’ll likely just do a GPR scan. But if you need additional information, we have all the tools necessary to give you a full analysis of your concrete. And we have more than just the tools—we have trained technicians on our team who know how to use them and provide you with the accurate information you need!
