How Brødrene Ulveseth Saved 2 Weeks Using GPR Scanning
Castbergkvartalet Project.
The best way to showcase the value of our technology is through real-life results. In this case study, we highlight our collaboration with Brødrene Ulveseth AS on the Castbergkvartalet project in the heart of Bergen, Norway. This project clearly demonstrates how non-invasive GPR scanning can streamline construction processes and reduce unnecessary demolition work.
Project Background
When Brødrene Ulveseth needed to document and map the rebar in the basement floor under the Football Pub in Bergen city center, the traditional approach would have involved breaking up the concrete, which is time-consuming and expensive. Instead, our ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology provided a non-invasive solution, enabling precise rebar mapping without demolition.
Project insights
🔹 Mapped rebar in the basement floor and two structural columns.
🔹 Located and identified 10 mm and 16 mm reinforcement bars with precise spacing in the 220-230 mm range.
The impact
🔹 2 weeks were saved on the project.
🔹 100,000–200,000 NOK in cost savings.
🔹 Detailed structural insights without disrupting the site.
By combining our advanced scanning GPR technology with Brødrene Ulveseth’s industry expertise, we’ve demonstrated how data-driven solutions can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize disruption on-site.
