Rebar corrosion is a significant issue that can compromise the structural integrity of concrete structures. As steel reinforcement bars corrode, they expand and cause cracks and spalling in the surrounding concrete, leading to potential safety hazards and costly repairs. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has emerged as an effective and non-destructive solution for detecting rebar corrosion, allowing for timely maintenance and preventive measures. This technology offers numerous benefits, making it an invaluable tool for ensuring the longevity and safety of concrete structures.

Concrete structures are vital components of our infrastructure, supporting everything from roads and bridges to buildings and dams. However, despite their durability, concrete structures are not immune to deterioration. Over time, various factors such as exposure conditions, positioning, presence of reinforcement, finishing, detailing, and curing can lead to deterioration, compromising the integrity of these structures. It is imperative, therefore, to conduct regular concrete scanning and inspection to assess their condition and ensure their longevity.
