Do you own property in Fallbrook and need a scan to locate private utilities? Or are you a general contractor who works in Fallbrook looking for a new company to provide you with ground penetrating radar (GPR) scanning services? Enhanced Scanning would love to be a resource for you!
In this blog post, we want to give you a rundown of the GPR scanning services we provide in Fallbrook and the surrounding areas.
GPR Scanning in Fallbrook for Underground Utility Locating
One of our main services here at Enhanced Scanning is using GPR to scan properties in order to find private utility lines and other buried infrastructure. We take over where the 8-1-1 service leaves off to help property owners locate unseen hazards before they start any sort of project that requires excavation. Property owners and contractors hire us so they can proceed safely and with confidence, knowing that they won’t hit anything and cause expensive damage or injury.
If you’re thinking, “What’s the worst that can happen if I decide not to have my property scanned? A water line gets hit and we have to get it repaired?” That is certainly something that can happen, and it will cause your project to be delayed as you fix the damage. But in reality, a lot worse can happen. Maybe the worst-case scenario is that you hit a gas line and cause an explosion. Anyone in the area could get seriously injured or even killed, and it could also burn down any nearby structures. Of course, there are less dramatic outcomes than this, but this is a very real scenario that could happen (and has).
Having a GPR scan done by a professional technician prior to the start of excavation can help you avoid accidents by locating any potential hazards before the start of the project. Once you know where they are located you can either plan to work around them, or have them relocated if necessary.
GPR Scanning for Concrete Slabs and Structures
GPR is also a useful tool for “seeing” inside concrete slabs and CMU walls. GPR can be used for rebar verification, as well as to locate post-tensioned cables inside a slab. If you need to disturb a concrete slab, it is important to know where the structural elements are located so you can avoid them.
If you own a building and want to have accurate documentation of where all utility lines are located (in case you want to do any renovations in the future), a GPR technician can help with this as well.
If you have a residential or commercial property in Fallbrook that could benefit from a GPR scan, contact us at Enhanced Scanning to schedule service or to find out more about our services.
