Roadscanners’ Road Doctor® Survey Van with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Roadscanners’ expertise in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey technology extends to multiple levels, offering valuable insights into road infrastructure. From network-level surveys to project-level investigations, independent quality control, forensic surveys, and road condition monitoring, GPR provides a wealth of information for effective decision-making and quality assurance.
Roadscanners assists clients in choosing the ideal Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system that best suits their specific requirements. In addition to assessing structural thickness and quality, GPR systems offer useful information concerning structural anomalies and vital factors, such as moisture content. This information aids in making informed decisions and ensuring the optimal performance and safety of structures.
Roadscanners Road Doctor GPR plays a vital role in determining the thickness of pavement layers, including asphalt, concrete, and base courses. This information is essential for assessing the structural integrity of a road and planning maintenance activities accordingly.
Structural sections, such as bridge decks and pavements, can be evaluated using Roadscanners’ Road Doctor GPR. By capturing subsurface information, GPR helps identify variations in layer composition, potential voids, and deterioration within the structural elements. This data assists in making informed decisions regarding repairs, rehabilitation, or replacement, ensuring the longevity and safety of the structures.
Special structures, including culverts, tunnels, and retaining walls, require careful assessment for proper functionality and integrity. GPR allows for non-destructive evaluation of these structures, providing insights into their condition, detecting potential defects or anomalies, and enabling timely maintenance or repair interventions.
Road Doctor GPR enhances road surveys on many levels
Roadscanners specializes in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology for network-level and project-level surveys, providing comprehensive assessments of road infrastructure.
