Green Technologies
We evaluate the useful life and condition of roads, pavements and more.
Green Technologies has air-docked ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment designed especially for the United States Department of Defense and offers solutions to analyze the characteristics of soils and near-surface structures, as well as determine thicknesses, voids and moisture content of the different strata that compose it, in addition to detecting underground infrastructure and existing cavities between layers, water leaks, concrete reinforcement, level of oxidation of steel, delamination of concrete, level of compaction of fresh asphalt concrete recently had and compacted, oxidation level of an asphalt pavement and its moisture absorption levels among other factors that can measure the useful life and condition of constructions and transportation infrastructure, hydrosanitary and even humidity levels in soils for agriculture.
Our team has the ability to analyze together with the conductivity-resistivity system at depths of hundreds of meters deep. In the layers near the surface, our system emits microwaves at a frequency of 10 billion signals per second that bounce off the layers of the floor, pavements, soil and interior of concrete structures, masonry or any structure that contains soil-rock.
​
The system has the capacity to carry out surveys at speeds greater than 60 km/hr, and even; It can be mounted on an aircraft to scan different surfaces.
​
Originally our equipment was designed for the detection of mines (explosives) for the US Department of Defense and later for the study of roads, highways, runways, tunnels, platforms and any type of structure (pavement, concrete, ground, cobblestones).
Detects induced work
The team precisely locates underground facilities.
Measure layer thicknesses
It is enough to bring the emission and detection antenna closer to the ground surface.
Detects gaps
The equipment is designed to locate and measure cavities in the subsoil without excavating.
Detects and measures moisture in soil and pavement layers
Derived from the dielectric responses we can locate and measure areas with humidity.
