When
The Akron Children’s Hospital needed to make a 1 inch
diameter penetration through a concrete roof without hitting
post-tensioned cables, they called GPRS, Inc. We were able
to scan the roof from the underside of the slab and mark
all reinforcing steel on the surface of the ceiling. The
post-tensioned cables were previously marked on the surface
during construction but the hospital could not afford to
trust those marks and risk drilling through the reinforcing.
The Akron Children’s Hospital chose to use GPR rather
than X-Ray because of the safety of our equipment. GPR is
so safe that this job was performed approximately 30 feet
from an operating room where a heart surgery was being performed
on an infant at that time. There is no radiation safety
hazard with Ground Penetrating Radar when working around
building occupants or around sensitive equipment.
