The Proceq GP8800 Pro GPR: Unveiling the Unseen with Precision and Portability

The Proceq GP8800 Pro GPR (Ground-Penetrating Radar) represents a groundbreaking leap in non-destructive testing, engineered for unparalleled versatility and accuracy in structural investigation. This handheld device masterfully navigates complex environments—from the tightest corners and curved surfaces to overhead structures and the immediate edges of concrete—delivering critical insights into the hidden world beneath. Its unique Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) technology spans an impressive frequency range of 0.4 to 6.0GHz, allowing it to penetrate up to 25.6 inches (63.5 cm) while providing high-resolution imaging from a single antenna—a significant advancement over traditional pulsed-radar systems.

Comprehensive Detection and Analysis Capabilities

The GP8800 excels at identifying a broad spectrum of embedments and anomalies, including reinforcing bars, steel mesh, multiple layers of reinforcement, post-tensioning tendon ducts, live electrical cables, conduits, and other concealed objects. Beyond simple detection, it precisely locates voids, inclusions, and discontinuities within concrete structures. Remarkably, it can also accurately measure the thickness of slabs or walls from one side, making it an indispensable tool for structural assessment, as-built verification, rebar mapping, and quality control in construction.

Innovative Design for Unrestricted Operation

Designed with real-world applications in mind, the GP8800 boasts a suite of innovative features:

• Wireless Tracking Wheel: This ingenious component can be quickly adjusted between trailing and sidecar configurations, facilitating smooth scanning in confined spaces. Its ability to perform cross-polarized scanning—combining perpendicular scan data—significantly boosts sensitivity and resolution for clearer subsurface insights.
• Detachable Battery Pack: For exceptionally narrow access points (requiring as little as 2.5 inches / 64 mm clearance), the battery pack can be detached and connected via a USB-C cable, ensuring uninterrupted operation where other devices cannot reach.
• Encrypted Wireless Connectivity: The device pairs seamlessly with any Apple iPad (running iPadOS 13.6 or later) via encrypted Wi-Fi, offering wireless freedom up to 65 feet (20 meters). The iPad transforms into a powerful mobile workstation, enabling real-time data visualization, comprehensive post-processing, instant reporting, and effortless collaboration on-site.
• Advanced Visualization: Leverage 2D, 3D, and state-of-the-art Augmented Reality (AR) displays through Apple’s ARKit™. This revolutionary feature overlays subsurface visuals directly onto the real-world environment, providing an intuitive and immersive understanding of hidden structures.

Enhanced Functionality and Streamlined Data Management

The GP8800 is built for extensive projects and efficient data handling:

• Massive Scan Memory: Capable of recording straight-line scans up to 3,281 feet (1,000 meters) and ergonomic performance for defined area scans up to 1,076 square feet (100 square meters).
• Versatile Review Modes: Analyze data with ease using non-migrated scans, detailed heatmaps, and precise depth slices.
• Flexible Data Export: Export results in multiple formats including CSV, HTML, JPG, PNG, or SEGY files, ensuring compatibility and easy sharing with clients and stakeholders.
• Proceq Logbook Integration: Securely store and manage your data in the cloud with Proceq Logbook, enabling live sharing, advanced post-processing, and comprehensive project tracking. Enrich your scans with geolocation data, photos, audio notes, and text comments for detailed reporting and context.

Robust and Adaptable Hardware

Durability and flexibility are at the core of the GP8800's design:

• Compact & Agile: The compact antenna housing features a wireless tracking wheel that can be attached to any side, enabling seamless scanning in all directions.
• Extended Power Options: Powered by four standard AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable) or flight-safe rechargeable batteries, providing up to 2.5 hours of continuous operation. For prolonged projects, a tethered 5VDC, 2A power bank can extend usage up to eight hours.
• Optional Accessories: Enhance your workflow with optional accessories such as extra battery packs and an ultralight telescoping rod for reaching elevated or otherwise inaccessible areas.

Comprehensive Software and Unrivaled Support

The GP8800 comes complete with permanent operating software and access to the Proceq Workspace platform. Users benefit from five years of complimentary software updates and dedicated support, with the option for extension. Even after this period, the software remains fully functional, and the iPad hardware can be upgraded independently, safeguarding your investment.
