Residential As Built Floor and Foundation Mapping: Revealing the Unknown for Safe Renovation

OmniVueNDT performed residential as-built scanning using ground penetrating radar (GPR) to map floor slab and foundation conditions prior to renovation. The project required identification of reinforcement, slab thickness variations, and grade beam locations to prevent structural damage. Using non-destructive testing methods, accurate subsurface data was collected to support design, permitting, and safe construction planning. This allowed the project team to proceed with confidence and avoid costly mistakes.

Elevated Floor Slab 3D Scanning: Ensuring Safe Demolition and Structural Confidence

OmniVueNDT performed 3D GPR scanning of an elevated floor slab to identify internal reinforcement prior to cutting a new staircase opening. The project required accurate detection of rebar, joists, and potential post-tension cables to prevent structural damage and safety risks. Using advanced GPR and LiDAR technologies, detailed subsurface data was collected and visualized in a 3D model. This allowed the project team to plan safe cutting paths, reduce risk, and proceed with confidence.

Subsurface Utility Investigation (SUI) at a Major Industrial Facility: Navigating Hidden Risks Below the Surface

OmniVueNDT performed a subsurface utility investigation (SUI) at a major industrial facility to locate underground utilities prior to pipe rack installation. The site contained outdated records and undocumented infrastructure, creating significant risk during excavation. Using GPR and electromagnetic locating methods, buried pipes, conduits, and utilities were accurately identified and mapped. This data allowed the project team to avoid utility strikes, reduce risk, and proceed safely with construction planning.

Restaurant Remodelling

OmniVueNDT performed GPR scanning to support a restaurant remodeling project by identifying embedded elements within the concrete structure. The project required accurate location of rebar, conduits, and utilities prior to cutting, coring, and modification activities. Using non-destructive testing methods, detailed subsurface imaging was provided to reduce risk, prevent damage, and ensure safe and efficient renovation of the space.
