Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR):
A non-invasive method using electromagnetic pulses to image beneath surfaces like concrete or soil. It analyzes reflected waves to map subsurface features without causing damage.
Accuracy and Safety:
GPR provides precise, high-resolution images to detect hidden pipes, rebar, and voids. This non-destructive method enhances safety by locating hazards before cutting or drilling begins.
Benefits:
The key advantages are detailed imaging of subsurface elements, its non-intrusive nature, and a reduced risk of accidentally striking hidden utilities or structural components.
Applications:
GPR is used for locating utilities (water, gas lines), scanning concrete for rebar and conduits, and is applied in construction, infrastructure, and environmental projects.

Keyholing Utility Potholing:
A specialized technique for locating and exposing underground utilities. It involves drilling a small, precise hole to inspect utility lines, serving as a cost-effective and less disruptive alternative to traditional digging.
Precision and Safety:
This method accurately pinpoints the location of underground utilities, reducing the risk of damage during construction or repairs. By providing a clear view of what's below, it enhances safety for workers and the public.
Benefits:
Its minimally invasive process reduces surface disruption and environmental impact, which lowers labor and material costs.
Applications:
Used for construction planning, utility maintenance, municipal infrastructure management, and telecommunications work.
Strength and Stability:
These methods restore load transfer, control crack widening, and extend pavement life when used on joints and cracks that are still in fair condition.
Applications:
Used on highways, airports, and industrial concrete with longitudinal cracking or weak joints. It extends the service life in high-traffic areas without full replacement. Not suitable for transverse cracks.
-
Runway Friction Restoration:
A process to enhance airport runway safety and performance by removing surface irregularities and creating grooves for better water drainage. This is primarily achieved through diamond grinding and runway grooving.
Key Techniques:
Diamond grinding restores smoothness by eliminating bumps and correcting pavement flaws. Runway grooving creates channels to reduce hydroplaning and improve tire grip in wet conditions.
Benefits: These methods enhance skid resistance, ensure reliable braking, and improve overall safety for takeoffs and landings.
Applications:
Used to improve the safety and durability of airport runways, particularly in climates with frequent rainfall.
