The location of the deck and balconies — within a limited-access, enclosed courtyard — created accessibility and potential safety problems. Each of the decks, measuring 16 x 8 feet, had to be demolished without damaging the building to which they were attached. The top deck stood on a fifth floor, with subsequent decks on lower floors. The balcony structure was supported by two, 16 inch concrete columns, each measuring 57 feet high. The Plan Diamond Subsurface Imaging developed a plan to survey of subsurface ground by using Ground Penetrating Radar — GPR SIR 20 systems, with Radan software and onsite 3D capabilities. The Process Over a 5 day period over 7000 linear feet of Subsurface imaging was performed by a Diamond GPR technician. Using a 400 mHz antenna and radio frequency locating equipment Diamond Located and verified the depth all utilities in the scanned area. The Outcome By locating and verifying the depth of all utilities Diamond was able to deliver to FTC&H engineers integrated mapping of all findings. According to John Lefevre, FTC&H project manager; “This is one of many projects for which we’ve used Diamond Subsurface Imaging, as always they provided the high level results that we’ve come to expect from them.” Get Case Study (PDF) See All Case Studies Interested in Our Services?
