Task
Scan elevated, post-tensioned concrete slab to ensure the safe anchoring for installation of buck hoists, and map rebar in a failing pool deck.
PROBLEM
- The professional concrete scanning company originally hired for this project pulled out due to fears of being liable for the contractor drilling into post-tensioned concrete slabs
- The tower’s concrete slabs required extensive repairs to comply with state law
- Severing a single post tension cable during this work could have led to as much as $30,000 in repair costs and structural failure that endangered workers on site and the surrounding community
Solution
- GPRS’ SIM-certified Project Managers utilized ground penetrating radar (GPR) to locate and map the rebar on the pool deck, and identify safe anchoring points for the buck hoists’ supports
- All this accurate, field-verified data was uploaded into SiteMap® to ensure seamless communication between members of the project team
Benefits
- GPRS’ industry-leading accuracy rate when conducting utility locates means the contractor can rely on the data we provided to safely plan and complete their work
- Because this accurate, field-verified data was uploaded into SiteMap®, the contractor was able to mitigate the risk of miscommunications that cause mistakes, change orders, and delays.
