Technical FAQ: Concrete Scanning & GPR

How deep can your GPR scanners see into concrete?

Using high-frequency antennas (like the Hilti PS 1000), we can accurately scan up to 40cm to 60cm (400mm - 600mm) in standard dry concrete. For deep slab foundations in UAE industrial sites, we can adjust the frequency to reach greater depths depending on the concrete's moisture content.

Can you distinguish between Rebar and Post-Tension (PT) Cables?

Yes. Our experienced operators can identify the distinct parabolic "hyperbola" signatures. PT cables typically follow a different drape profile than standard rebar mats. Identifying these is critical for high-rise renovations in areas like Business Bay and Dubai Marina.

Is the GPR process safe for site workers?

Absolutely. Unlike Concrete X-Ray, GPR is non-ion

Summary of Findings

Industry Glossary: Understanding GPR Technology

1. Dielectric Constant (Relative Permittivity)

A measure of how easily an electromagnetic wave travels through a material. In the UAE, high humidity or salt content in coastal areas can change the dielectric constant of concrete, requiring our technicians to calibrate the equipment for accurate depth readings.

2. Hyperbola (Parabolic Signature)

The characteristic inverted "V" shape seen on a GPR screen. This occurs as the antenna passes over a cylindrical object like a rebar or PT cable. The peak of the hyperbola indicates the exact center and depth of the target.

3. Signal Attenuation

The loss of signal energy as it travels through concrete. Highly reinforced "mesh" or wet concrete can cause signal attenuation, making it harder to see deep objects. We use lower-frequency antennas to overcome this in thick foundation slabs.

4. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

A wide group of analysis techniques used to evaluate properties of a material without causing damage. GPR is the leading NDT method for UAE construction because it is 100% safe and leaves the slab intact.

5. Cover Depth

The distance between the concrete surface and the top of the first layer of reinforcement. Maintaining
