Proceq GP8800 Pro Ground Penetrating Radar, NiMh Battery, 5-Year Plan

Proceq GP8800 Pro Ground Penetrating Radar, NiMh Battery, 5-Year Plan

The Proceq GP8800 Pro GPR Live represents a significant leap forward in ground-penetrating radar technology. This compact, handheld GPR system is engineered for exceptional versatility and power, making it the premier choice for assessing concrete structures. Its revolutionary design excels in scanning tight spaces, overhead areas, curved surfaces, and locations close to walls. This makes the GP8800 an indispensable tool for detailed structural analysis of bridges, buildings, and pavements with unparalleled precision.

Advanced Stepped-Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) Technology Unlike traditional single-frequency pulsed-radar units, the GP8800 Pro utilizes state-of-the-art Stepped-Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) technology. This allows the antenna to sweep a broad range of frequencies—from 0.4 to 6.0GHz—in a single scan. The result is a remarkable penetration depth of up to 25.6 inches (65cm) while capturing exceptionally high-resolution data. This single-antenna system provides detailed characterization of subsurface features, eliminating the need for multiple units.

Key Applications and Capabilities The GP8800 is engineered for comprehensive structural investigation and can accurately detect, locate, and map:

• Reinforcing bars (rebar) and steel mesh, including secondary layers
• Post-tensioning tendon ducts
• Hidden voids, inclusions, and structural discontinuities
• Electrical conduits and fiber optic cables
• Slab or wall thickness from a single side

Its capabilities make it the ideal solution for as-built verification, quality control, rebar detection, and determining concrete cover and thickness.

Ergonomic and Flexible Design The GP8800 boasts an exclusive wireless tracking wheel that can be adjusted from a trailing to a sidecar configuration, providing outstanding flexibility in cramped environments. This design is crucial for performing cross-polarized scanning. By combining data from two perpendicular scans, the cross-polarization method dramatically enhances the instrument's sensitivity and data resolution. For scanning in extremely narrow areas with as little as 2.5 inches (63mm) of clearance, the battery pack can be detached and connected via a USB-C cable for maximum adaptability.

Seamless Integration with Apple iPad® The GP8800 connects wirelessly via an encrypted Wi-Fi link to the user’s Apple iPad® (running iOS 11 or higher). The intuitive GPR Live Pro software leverages the iPad's powerful processing capabilities, high-resolution display, and collaborative features. This creates a user-friendly platform for viewing real-time scans, collecting data, and sharing detailed reports instantly from any location via the cloud.

Next-Generation Data Visualization The system’s advanced data migration processing generates realistic and easy-to-interpret 2D and 3D images of the subsurface. Furthermore, it integrates with Apple’s ARKit™ to provide groundbreaking Augmented Reality (AR) overlays. This feature allows users to project subsurface elements onto the real-world environment through the iPad's camera, offering unparalleled in-situ visualization and simplifying complex findings for stakeholders. A key advantage of this ecosystem is that the iPad hardware and software can be upgraded at any time, ensuring the system benefits from the latest performance improvements without needing to replace the GPR sensing unit.

Performance and Power Included with the GP8800 is a powerful, rechargeable NiMH battery pack. This pack, consisting of four flight-safe AA batteries, provides up to 2.5 hours of continuous operation. For extended projects, the system allows for hot-swapping with a standard 5VDC 2A power bank, extending operating time to 8 hours. The device can record straight-line scans up to 3,281ft (1,000m), though its ergonomic design is optimized for shorter line scans and defined area scans up to 47.2 x 47.2 inches (120 x 120cm). The wireless connection to the iPad offers cable-free operation at ranges up to 65ft (20m).

Available Packages:
