Concrete and Masonry Scanning Services

The Argonne National Laboratory is soliciting quotations from qualified contractors to provide non-destructive concrete and masonry scanning services on an as-needed basis. The contractor will use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and complementary detection technologies to identify embedded elements in substrates, including concrete slabs, walls, beams, columns, and decks. The purpose of the scanning services is to reduce risk prior to blind penetrations and support safe construction and maintenance activities. The contractor will be required to provide trained and experienced technicians, appropriate equipment, and documentation, including field sketches, photographs, and summary reports. Some key points to consider include: • The contractor must use GPR and complementary detection methods as needed. • The contractor must clearly define scanning limits before mobilization. • The contractor must mark detected items on surfaces using approved temporary methods. • The contractor must provide digital deliverables when requested. • The contractor must comply with all applicable Argonne, OSHA, ESH, and DOE safety requirements.
