Honoring our deceased family members or relatives is human nature. This practice has been around for thousands of years among advanced societies. Nowadays, it is a necessary, yet well-used, practice in road/highway construction or building developments that the ground should be investigated prior to construction to make sure no unmarked graves are disturbed during the groundwork.

Scanning was performed on the 13th floor at the tallest parking garage of Houston, TX in the Medical Center. The scope of work was to produce rebar layout in a most accurate way prior to coring.

Our GPR 2.5D inversion will produce valuable data to be able to build a subsurface condition map and view the lateral size of possible voids, sinkholes, or any other type of soil defects within a midrange depth.

Houston, like other large cities of the state of Texas, has been expanding over the years. Increasing population would require adequate infrastructure system for cities in order to create a livable environment for residents. Building and expanding our infrastructure is one thing, but creating a SMART infrastructure system would be the main goal.

Embarkment dams and concrete dams are acting as a first line of defense to prevent thousands of residential homes and business offices from dangerous flooding. It’s not only the water that is posing a danger to the neighborhoods, but the aftermath of what the flood could leave behind. The insurance value o

Lifting and/or hoisting is a hazardous work procedure that is typically performed in refineries, chemical plants, or industrial facilities as a daily task. Heavy lifting is a complex and well-coordinated procedure that requires preliminary planning and engineering control. Part of the Job Safety Management process is to conduct a thorough job task related JSA and JHA prior to the field work.

GPR scanning should be a part of every construction project.

Company was contracted to perform a structure scanning service in real time mode to locate unseen reinforcement inside the concrete structures.

The company was contracted to perform a formal 3D structure scan on a subfloor to determine the layout of the radiant heating system inside the concrete slab for future construction.

GPR scan was performed on two areas next to each other to map out steel reinforcement system of a concrete slab on grade. High frequency GPR system with a GSSI SIR-4000 data collected was used to perform the scan and produce information for further use.

After the assessment was complete the GPR images were proving that the construction design is different from the as-built drawings.

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure.

A mobile crane collapsed while lifting, which occurred due to an unknown and unseen underground void. No GPR scan was ordered by plant engineering and craning and rigging department. Outrigger positions were not scanned either to make sure that the ground beneath the concrete pad is solid and firm enough to withstand the dead weight of the crane. A load bearing capacity investigation would also be recommended on crane pad locations prior to crane placement.
