The Steel-Spotting Sleuth: Rebar Locators are Easy to Find

As the name suggests, rebar locators are used to find steel reinforcing bars and metal pipes in construction projects a key to ensuring the safe construction and maintenance of concrete structures.

Rebar Locators

Before starting in on any maintenance work, it is vital to identify the location, orientation and depth of metalwork within a structure. Mistakenly drilling into metal pipe can be both damaging and costly. Similarly, drilling into rebar can destroy expensive drill bits and, even worse, can lead to significant structural damage.

Rebar locators are the perfect solution for making a fast and accurate determination of location, concrete cover and diameter of rebar in reinforced constructions.

White Cap is the number one source for rebar locators, offering a variety of models and prices to meet the needs of any construction project.

There are many makes and models of rebar locators. Some use a low frequency electromagnetic field to locate ferrous objects within a structure, while the latest technology uses ground-penetrating radar to locate steel and other objects within a structure.

Rebar locators are the most effective and efficient way to locate, evaluate and assess the depth of concrete cover over reinforcing bar. By using the latest in electromagnetic and radar technology, high-quality rebar locators can guarantee accurate results.
