Steel Reinforcment in Concrete Deck
Side View
The peaks of the hyperbolas(^) indicate the location and depth of the embedded items.
This image is from an elevated Parking Deck indicating embedded steel locations and depths.
Note the extensive reinforcement at the column line. Groud Penetrating Radar surveys can be used to reduce the chances of damaging vital structural steel, tension cables, plumbing or electrical conduit when drilling or cutting through concrete slabs. GPR scanning can also provide verification of embedded item locations and depths as well as verifying adequate coverage of reinforcement steel.
