How We Detect Voids Under Concrete Slabs

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a recognized technique for detecting voids beneath the surface. It’s essential to discover these voids early before any potential collapse occurs. At Scan Plus Tech, we have the capability to detect concerns both deep down, and close to the surface. Our equipment offers a rough estimation of what lies below the ground.

Corrosion Detection – Why Is Corrosion a Serious Problem?

Corrosion of metals is sometimes inactive, sometimes active. Some museum objects are susceptible to corrosion but remain stable because corrosion does not develop, while others are subject to active corrosion. Recognizing the early signs of active and destructive corrosion is an important aspect of preventive metal conservation. Few metal objects are immune to corrosion. Metals such as gold and platinum are the only ones that retain a bright, fully metallic appearance over a long period of time.
