StructureScan Optical is a GPR system that uses optical barcodes and smart pad technology to simplify 3D data collection for concrete inspection and analysis. It can locate rebar, cables, and conduits in concrete in real-time. It has two antenna options, 1600MHz for general purposes to 18 inches depth and 2600MHz for higher resolution to 12 inches depth. It includes a control unit, antenna, cart, pads, and software for processing data.

GPR concrete scanning with timesaving techniques
Locate Rebar
Concrete and construction professionals use
StructureScan Optical to safely locate structures
within poured concrete prior to drilling, cutting or
coring. Take advantage of locating targets in real
time, with only single-sided access required.

5. Concrete Inspection 2600 MHz
Antenna Solutions
2600 MHz: High-Resolution Antenna
The 2600 MHz is an ultra-high resolution antenna used to
inspect concrete structures to locate embedded rebar, post
tension cables and conduits. Depth Range: to 12 in (0.4 m) 1600 MHz
1600 MHz: General Purpose Antenna
The 1600 MHz is a high-resolution, all-purpose antenna used
to inspect concrete structures to locate embedded rebar, post
tension cables and conduits. It is used on bridge decks for
condition assessment and to determine concrete cover.
Depth Range: to 18 in (0.5 m)
1000 MHz
1000 MHz: Deep Penetration Antenna
The 1000 MHz antenna represents the state-of-the-art in
shallow earth or deeper concrete imaging. This antenna is
appropriate in areas where higher frequencies do not provide
adequate penetration and lower frequencies do not provide
acceptable resolution. Depth Range: to 24 in (0.6 m)

2000 MHz: Palm Antenna
The new Palm Antenna offers users the ability to reach tightly spaced
areas that were previously inaccessible such as corners, against walls
and around obstructions.
The Palm Antenna is compatible with the SIR-3000 and SIR-20 control
units. The antenna includes a dedicated survey wheel, a replaceable skid
plate, and removable handle to reduce antenna height, if necessary. The
Palm Antenna weighs in at approximately one pound.
Depth Range: to 12 in (0.4 m)
