Sensor and Software Conquest 100 GPR and Concrete Scanner
Main applications
- Rebar locating and mapping
- Post-tension (PT) cable detection
- Detection of metallic and non-metallic conduits
- Detection of voids beneath concrete/slabs
- Detection of current-carrying electrical cables using its Power Cable Detector (PCD)
- Concrete inspection of floors, slabs, decks, walls, ceilings and columns
- Non-destructive testing (NDT) and construction quality control

How it works
The 1 GHz GPR antenna sends electromagnetic pulses into the concrete. Reflections from changes in material—such as steel reinforcement, cables, pipes, conduits, voids or interfaces—are recorded and displayed on the touchscreen.
For larger areas, the operator can perform a Grid Scan, collecting multiple parallel scan lines to create a plan-style subsurface image. The system also supports Line Scan for following individual targets.
Conquest 100 Enhanced
The Conquest 100 Enhanced expands the original system’s data-management capabilities. It can store multiple projects and export .GPZ project files, which can subsequently be processed using the optional EKKO_Project PC software. Enhanced grid options include areas up to 2.4 × 2.4 m.
EKKO_Project is particularly useful when you need more than a quick field image—for example, organizing multiple scans, analyzing GPR data and preparing professional client reports.
Advantages
Pros
- Purpose-built for concrete scanning
- Lightweight sensor head
- Real-time results in the field
- Integrated power-cable detection
- Useful for walls, ceilings and columns as well as floors
- Grid scanning provides a visual map of embedded objects
- Wi-Fi/USB data transfer and field reporting
Limitations
- 1 GHz frequency prioritizes resolution and concrete inspection rather than very deep penetration.
- GPR interpretation requires operator experience; a displayed target should not automatically be assumed to be a particular type of utility.
- Maximum specified viewing depth is around 91 cm, and actual penetration depends strongly on concrete condition and electromagnetic properties.
In short: the Conquest 100 is best thought of as a specialized concrete GPR scanner for locating rebar, PT cables, conduits, voids and energized wires before construction work.
