Undetected objects or changes in material properties of concrete can lead to dangerous breakage or costly construction mistakes. Ground-penetrating radar concrete testing uses non-destructive radar pulses to image the subsurface and detect discrepancies in concrete.
In conjunction with concrete coring, Element offers complete ground-penetrating radar services for electrical conduits and mechanical upgrades that are safer and more efficient than the traditional X-ray method.
Ground-penetrating radar services
Element’s ground-penetrating radar services eliminate the need to mobilize your own crew after-hours by bringing the service to you directly. Rather than hiring a traditional team, we can send one expert technician to image concrete without stopping construction.
Ground-penetrating radar services detect any elements you want to avoid, including tendons, structural steel, rebar, and electrical conduits, helping to prevent costly mistakes. Our well-trained and experienced construction materials technicians can help to core existing slab, and if requested, we can provide our on-site coring crew to core drill your slab.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Our inspectors use ultrasonic waveforms to pass through a material to detect flaws and provide a complete volumetric inspection. Contact testing, Phased Array and the Immersion technique are available for complex geometric parts that otherwise may not be subject to complete volumetric inspection.
