Cleveland Cement

GPR Conduit Locating Under Cement

When Cleveland Cement needed to saw-cut trenches at the Marymount Sports Health Clinic in Garfield Heights, OH, they first called GPRS, Inc. to locate conduits and pipes under the concrete. GPRS arrived the next day and scanned 8 areas totaling approximately 2,000 sq. ft. GPRS uses ground penetrating radar to locate conduits inside of concrete slabs and under slabs on grade. GPRS technicians also use an RD-4000 utility locator to locate live power and communications lines and to double check their findings.

Jamie is using the GPR concrete imaging system to locate electrical conduits that are
intersecting the path of saw cutting at a construction project in Cleveland, OH.

Jamie Althauser was able to locate electrical conduits under the concrete at this project. Our services proved to be especially valuable for Cleveland Cement because many of these conduits were in contact with the bottom of the slab and would have been easily severed if the cutting were to have taken place without the GPR inspection. GPRS marked the exact locations of the conduits onto the surface of the concrete along with depths and the concrete thickness to assist the saw cutters.
