C-thrue
See through concrete structures and reveal true data that lead to optimal decision-making
Construction and service companies together with civil and structural engineers can improve their safety by using C-thrue to quickly locate rebars, voids, post-tension cables, cavities, conduits, and any other objects buried in the structure before cutting or drilling into the concrete.
C-thrue is an easy-to-use and robust solution to see through concrete structures and reveal true data.
DUAL ANTENNA POLARIZATION: DETECT SHALLOW AND DEEPER TARGETS
IN A SINGLE MOVE
C-thrue is an all-in-one Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for accurate scanning and real time analysis of concrete structures. C-thrue boasts a dual polarization radar technology (displaying both HH a VV channels), making this device capable of locating and identifying shallow and deep targets in one swipe with the maximum clarity of data leading to an optimal decision making.
MULTIPLE SET UP OPTIONS
A compact and light telescopic pole and an external controller allow C-thrue to maximize its reach in concrete scanning operations across challenging locations: under a deck, along vertical walls or ceilings. C-thrue can also be used in combination with C-thrue XS - the smallest and lightest concrete scanning antenna on the market – to inspect constricted and difficult to reach spaces: pillars, corners and areas around obstructions.
Easily transported on site, C-thrue offers more flexibility with no limitations for your analysis requirements, the external controller allows an easier and faster data interpretation thanks to real-time data processing and a representation of results in Augmented Reality for more efficient decision-making.
Field to office software
K2 FastWave - Acquisition Software for use in the Field
The acquisition software designed to work with the Radar Control Unit (single or multi-channel) with the K2 FASTWAVE software is able to support the acquisition of up to eight antennas connected in chain. The software is able to show two radargrams simultaneously on the screen in real time during the acquisition phase. K2 FASTWAVE comes with comprehensive tools to customise the acquisition parameters and calibrate the signal of every acquisition channel. Estimate the propagation velocity as well as modify many other parameters directly from the initial interface. K2 FastWave is also able to continuously monitor the status of the system, providing an alarm for every possible malfunction that can happen in the field. Achieve the best results from the survey, mixing longitudinal and transversal scans in the post processing, with a dedicated tool to help you collect data in grid mode. The system can be connected to GPS and is able to record the path in real time and mark anomalies. The data is stored in a dedicated folder and is easy to access in the future post processing phase.
GRED HD Basic post processing software
A modular family of software, GRED HD Basic post processing software is recommended for generic basic post processing analysis. This easy-to-use post processing software enables post processing of data acquired with the IDS K2 FastWave. The software offers general tools and features and can be used for several applications from geology and archaeology to underground utility detection. GRED HD Basic is equipped with basic features and capable of processing the radargram acquired in the field in 2D. This software is recommended for users that need to analyse data in the office and want to maximise interpretation capability. The software is able to show the B-Scan (radargram) acquired. GRED HD Basic applies several types of filters (background removal, gain, mitigation time domain, etc.) to obtain an easier to interpret B-Scan. It is also possible to set filter macros for iterative filtering of the data. Anomalies as well as pipes can be marked directly on the interface. GRED HD Basic is also able to do semi-automatic layering reconstruction and insert core.
GRED HD 3D - Advanced GPR processing and imaging software
An advanced post processing software for 3D and tomographic rendering of acquired data, GRED HD 3D is recommended for pipe and utility mapping and 3D analysis of the subsurface. The software presents a 3D view of the subsurface, with a complete set of options to navigate, cutting and marking anomalies. GRED HD 3D is also able to export 2D plan-view slices of the subsurface from which you can best interpret anomalies and pipes. The pipes and cables detected can be marked with a dedicated tool. Specify a color for each pipe, mark the depth of each and an estimate the dimensions. The marked pipes can then be visible in the 3D view, the 2D tomography slice and the traditional radargram. Enhance the capability of the interpretation when you show multiple radargrams simultaneously.
