Through concrete?

Hi

Maybe a money earner for you, too

I am being employed to find a copper pipe in a concrete floor. It is alot cheaper for the people to get me in to mark where the pipe is rather than have the whole floor taken up (and alot more safe and accurate)

Do you think there will be any problems?
 
Only if the Re-Bar interferes with your machine
 
I believe you can set it up in 2 tone ferrous and run a good bit of discrimination on the iron and find that copper pipe right easily. I should work if it's not just stacked with rebar.
 
Do you know the Difference from a cooper pipe or a gas line under the concrete, re-bar, or a life power line?? reamember the metal detector the we use is for hobby and not for pipe traicing
so you may be geating in to a liability situation?? ( unles you have a traicer unit and you are sertified to do so)
Be Aware( Stay Away) and Be Safe..( No Ofence inteanded)
 
If it is rebar enforced or mason wire, they will most likely have a good sized chunk tore up anyway even after pinpointing.
 
Yeah, my first thought was about rebar in the concrete interfering.
