Geophysics
What is GPR?
GPR is a non-destructive technique that uses radar waves to obtain images of the subsurface or the interior of structures.
What can GPR be used for?
GPR can be used for utility line location, subsurface void identification, and concrete thickness estimation and rebar location. For example, most commercial remodeling projects involve cutting or coring concrete floors that are heavily reinforced with either conventional reinforcing steel or post-tensioning steel. Damage to this steel is a high risk for contractors during their projects and the use of GPR to map out the location of steel can prevent such damage from occurring. In addition, GPR has been used in archeological projects at potential construction sites to determine if any historically significant subsurface features are present, such as old buried structures or unmarked graves.
What does H2B offer?
H2B acquires and interprets GPR data using 100 MHz, 225 MHz, 450 MHz and 900 MHz antennas. We are the only Houston area company that has both professional engineers and a geophysicist on staff to allow for the most efficient survey design and interpretation process.
