Scope of Work:
GPR Investigation to estimate the distance between the rebars and thickness of the slabs.
Location:
Jamshedpur, Jharkhand.
Client:
Tata Projects Pvt. Ltd.
Equipment:
GSSI SIR-4000 equipped with 400 MHz antenna
Challenges:
Large number of junctions, heavy traffic, executed at night-time.
Summary:
The GPR survey has been carried out at proposed three location at Tata Steel Plant Jamshedpur to estimate the distance between the rebars and thickness of the slabs. The total area scanned using GPR technology consisted of approximately 30 m2 at three locations. The scope of work included the Floor scanning, Tunnel Floor scanning and vertical wall of the tunnel up to 0-3m using non-destructive Ground Penetrating Radar technology. The purpose of the project is to effectively design the installation of the new machinery in the plant. Considering the client's requirements and the expected depth of the slab, the area has been surveyed using 400 MHz centre frequency antenna mounted with SIR 4000 GPR system to cover the depth up to 0-3m with fair resolution. A plan view along with sectional views have been generated with marked identified utilities.
