Question 1

What is GPR scanning and why is it needed?

Accepted Answer

GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) scanning is a non-destructive testing method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface of concrete and other materials. It's needed to detect rebar, post-tension cables, utilities, and voids before drilling, cutting, or coring to prevent damage and ensure structural integrity.

Question 2

How deep can GPR scanning detect?

Accepted Answer

Our Proceq GP8000 GPR system can detect subsurface features up to 200cm (2 meters) deep, depending on the material composition and conditions. For concrete slabs, typical detection depth is 40-80cm.

Question 3

What sizes of core holes can you cut?

Accepted Answer

We provide diamond core cutting in sizes from 12mm to 500mm diameter using professional equipment. Common sizes include 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm for structural testing and utility installations.

Question 4

Which areas in UAE do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Bhadeya Technical Services serves Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. We provide GPR scanning, core cutting, and excavation services across the entire UAE.

Question 5

What equipment do you use for GPR scanning?

Accepted Answer

We use the Proceq GP8000 ground penetrating radar system for subsurface scanning. It is an industry-leading, non-destructive testing instrument trusted worldwide.

Question 6

How long does a GPR scan take?

Accepted Answer

A typical GPR scan takes 1-4 hours depending on the area size and complexity. Small slabs may be completed in under an hour, while large commercial projects may require a full day. We provide same-day or next-day service for urgent projects.

Question 7

Is GPR scanning safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, GPR scanning is completely safe and non-destructive. It uses low-power electromagnetic waves that pose no health risk to people, pets, or the environment. Unlike X-ray, it requires no radiation shielding.

Question 8

Do you provide reports after scanning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide comprehensive reports after every scan including annotated maps showing rebar locations, post-tension cables, utilities, and safe drilling zones. Reports are delivered in PDF format with high-resolution imagery.
