Leica DS4000 Utility Detection Radar

Beneath the ground lies a tangled network of cables and pipes. As urban spaces – and the ground beneath them – grow more congested, advanced underground detection systems have become essential for reducing risk before breaking ground.

By integrating the patented Equalised Scrambling Technology (EsT), DS4000 detects underground utilities more clearly at both shallow and deeper levels, revealing all potential threats and difficultly seen underground objects such as fibre optic cables.

See more, Reach deeper
The Leica DS4000 Utility Detection Radar can identify underground assets up to 60% deeper than traditional systems, helping teams work more efficiently, confidently, and safely.

Accurate data and reduced risk

With the DS4000, surveyors can deliver accurate data in complex environments thanks to EsT patented technology, which extends the detection range. Construction and utilities teams can reduce risk, avoid costly setbacks during excavation, and keep their timelines on track.

Simplify your detection workflow

Perfect to perform across multiple urban environments, DS4000 boasts a compact and lightweight design that allows for single-user deployment. “Quick Scan Mode” streamlines field operations, saving time and reducing costs.

No-limit to data collection and easy management.

DS4000 employs the latest software technology solutions: uMap field software for fast data collection and easy management and IQMaps post-processing software for advanced analysis.

Concrete Scanner C-Thrue

The concrete scanner C-thrue is an easy-to-use and robust solution to see through concrete structures and reveal true data that lead to optimal decision-making. The solution is suited for all construction sites and operations including building renovation, overpasses, monuments, bridges and tunnels surveys, as well as for detailed analysis of the original engineering project and comparison with the as-built structure.

C-thrue offers more flexibility with no limitations for your analysis requirements, thanks to a compact and light telescopic pole and an external controller that can be easily transported on site in challenging locations or conditions (e.g. under a deck, under ceilings, over floors, on walls, etc…).

The C-thrue external controller allows easier and faster data interpretation thanks to real-time data processing and representation of results in Augmented Reality for more efficient decision-making.

Features and Benefits:

  • Complete and efficient structural inspection- Detection of both, first and second layer of rebars, PT cables, power cables and voids, thanks to the dual antenna polarization.
  • Safe drill in the surveyed structure- Rebar/void automatic insight capabilities that improve safety before cutting or drilling into the concrete.
  • Fully-visible, multi-touch display- Data displayed on the screen are never obscured by the handle or the user’s hand.
  • Simplified data interpretation- Optimal decision-making supported by visualization of acquired data in 3D models.
  • Increased data accuracy- Automatic positioning and navigation system.
  • Advanced data visualization- Augmented reality for 3D data visualization and sharing across operators – in real time or intervals after acquisition.
  • Flexibility everywhere- Lightweight, compact and transportable system for every user operations and construction sites.

IDS C-thrue XS

Construction and service companies together with civil and structural engineers can improve their safety by using C-thrue XS 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 XS, adding to the C-thrue product family, is the new compact hand-sized GPR with dual polarization to never miss a detail in one scanthe smallest and lightest antenna on the market capable of detecting both shallow and deep targets.

DUAL ANTENNA POLARIZATION: DETECT SHALLOW AND DEEPER TARGETS IN A SINGLE MOVE.

C-thrue XS allows the most accurate scanning performance and real-time analysis of concrete structures with a hand-sized device able to perform in-depth inspections. C-thrue XS 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 a single swath with the maximum clarity of data leading to an optimal decision making.

MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS: STAND- ALONE OR INTEGRATED USE

Offering the maximum flexibility, C-thrue XS is available in two configurations:

– STANDALONE: Easily scan across any concrete inspection scenario with C-thrue XS and promptly visualize the collected data results on your tablet

– INTEGRATED USE WITH C-THRUE: C-thrue XS’ combined use with C-thrue allows to cover any jobsite challenge and quickly visualize data on C-thrue’s multi-touch display

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.
