Task
Locate and mark any post tension cables, conduits, rebar, and other obstructions in nearly 600 feet of concrete for the installation of apartment complex walls.
PROBLEM
- The contractors needed to core into post-tensioned concrete slabs to anchor dowels for an upcoming apartment complex
- They needed to know the location of any obstructions such as post-tension cables, conduits, and rebar, so they could avoid this while coring
Solution
- GPRS Project Managers investigated the 590 feet of concrete using Subsurface Investigation Methodology
- They identified post tension cables and other reinforcements in some areas where anchors were to be installed
- GPRS provided a comprehensive mark-out to provide specific clearances for anchor installations
Benefits
- The data collected by GPRS prevented costly and potentially dangerous damages to the post tension slabs
- The project was completed ahead of schedule, exceeding the customer's expectations and streamlining their project timeline
