GP8800 - Compact Concrete GPR

Introduction

The GP8800 Ground Penetrating Radar is a high-performance, handheld GPR system designed for advanced concrete inspection and structural imaging. It is positioned for professional users who need clear subsurface data in demanding construction and infrastructure environments, including confined areas, congested reinforcement layouts, walls, slabs, bridge decks and parking structures.

Using advanced stepped-frequency continuous-wave radar technology, the GP8800 supports fast, high-density data collection with immediate 2D, 3D and augmented reality review options. It is suited to engineers, asset owners, consultants and NDT technicians who need reliable field insight without compromising portability or workflow efficiency.

At just 62 mm tall the GP8800 GPR concrete scanner can slide into places no other antenna can reach, showing a measurement within 45mm of the edge of the probe.

Applications

• Concrete inspection and structural imaging
• Reinforcement mapping in slabs, walls and structural elements
• Inspection of small, congested or difficult-access areas
• Scanning curved surfaces where conventional systems may be harder to position
• Bridge deck assessment and parking slab investigation
• High-density scanning of larger areas using area scan workflows
• Subsurface object detection from shallow to deeper targets in a single scan workflow

Features

Hardware and portability:

• Handheld, cable-free design for efficient scanning in tight, vertical and overhead locations.
• Ergonomic form factor suited to field inspections where access and handling matter.
• Designed for concrete and structural inspection workflows requiring mobility without sacrificing data quality.

Data quality and scanning performance:

• Stepped-frequency continuous-wave radar technology supports wideband scanning and improved subsurface visibility.
• Captures information across the required frequency range for practical detection of shallow and deeper objects.
• Supports high data density for clearer interpretation and more confident decision-making.

Usability and interpretation:

• Line Scan and Area Scan modes support both targeted investigation and broader mapping tasks.
• Review options include B-scan, A-scan, migrated and non-migrated views, split view, time-slice, 3D and AR.
• Immediate visual feedback helps reduce uncertainty in the field and supports faster inspection decisions.

Firmware

The onboard firmware enables the GP8800 to acquire and process wideband GPR data using stepped-frequency continuous-wave measurement. This supports efficient scanning across shallow and deeper target zones while maintaining practical resolution for concrete inspection.

Firmware-driven acquisition and review modes help streamline field operation, allowing users to move from scanning to interpretation without unnecessary workflow interruption. Updates and workflow improvements can support better usability, more efficient processing and improved field productivity over time.

Software

The GP8800 operates with the Proceq GPR software ecosystem, supporting field acquisition, visual review, annotation, reporting and data sharing. The app-based workflow is designed for practical site use, allowing technicians and engineers to capture measurements, review results and document findings while still in the field.

• Visualisation modes include A-scan, B-scan, 2D review, time-slice, 3D view and augmented reality.
• Measurement records can be annotated with voice notes, photos and comments.
• Reports and results can be shared in formats including JPG, PNG, DOCX, SEGY and HTML.
• SEG-Y export supports integration with advanced analysis workflows.
• Cloud-connected project access and workspace tools support collaboration, traceability and project documentation.

Together, the field app and post-processing workflow give users a practical balance of ease of use and advanced analysis capability, helping convert GPR data into clear inspection outcomes.
