February 13, 2008—Japan Radio Company (JRC) has launched the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) NJJ-95B Handy Search.
The main purpose of the Handy Search is to inspect the quality of construction. The device radiates electromagnetic waves through concrete surfaces and receives reflected signals from specific objects that have different characteristics. The depth and location of those objects are displayed and recorded as image data.
When a concrete building is repaired, rebuilt, or maintained, there is the potential problem of accidentally cutting a reinforcing steel bar, electrical conduit and wiring, gas pipes, or plumbing.
To perform quality assurance inspection and avoid such an accident, “Handy Search” has been developed as a nondestructive search device that can sense deep in concrete buildings.
Today, says JRC, the Handy Search is already a highly reputable and well accepted inspection device in the Japanese market.
The NJJ-95B Handy Search (GPR) continues the tradition of enhanced depth data technology, sharing the same simple configuration as its predecessor, but gives users a range of new features not previously found on this class of “concrete radars.”
Its high performance (allowing for a detection depth of 30 centimeters) and all-in-one functionality provides enhanced stability and read-out. Also the exceedingly compact and lightweight design, weighing only 1.1 kilogram, contributes to improved ergonomics and user-friendliness.
JRC is a leading company in the field of wireless technology, radio equipment, and radars in Japan. For more information visit the JRC Web site.
