How Proceq’s New AI Auto-Tagging Is Transforming Concrete Scanning

A New Era for Concrete Scanning

Concrete scanning has always required a blend of technical skill, experience, and time. Interpreting radargrams, identifying hyperbolas, and mapping embedded objects can be a slow and meticulous process, especially for teams working on tight project schedules.

Proceq, part of Screening Eagle Technologies, has changed the game with the introduction of AI Auto‑Tagging across its handheld GPR range. This breakthrough feature automatically detects and tags hyperbolas in real time, dramatically speeding up on-site decision making.

At Surveytech, we’re proud to offer the full range of Proceq Ground Penetrating Radars - available for hire or purchase, all equipped with this powerful new AI capability.

What Is AI Auto‑Tagging?

AI Auto‑Tagging is Proceq’s latest software enhancement designed to simplify and accelerate GPR interpretation. Using advanced machine learning, the system:

• Automatically identifies hyperbolas in radargrams

• Tags and counts objects such as rebars

• Reduces the need for manual interpretation

• Helps operators of all experience levels achieve consistent results

• Works seamlessly within the Screening Eagle GP App (v6.0 and above)

This means that instead of manually marking every hyperbola, a process that can take hours, the AI does it in seconds.

Why It Matters for Surveyors, Engineers & Construction Teams

Concrete scanning is often a critical step before drilling, coring, cutting, or structural assessment. Delays or inaccuracies can lead to:

• Project downtime

• Unexpected costs

• Safety risks

• Structural damage

Proceq's AI Auto-Tagging directly addresses these challenges by offering:

1. Faster On‑Site Decisions

Teams can interpret data immediately, reducing the need for lengthy post‑processing.

2. Improved Accuracy

AI tagging reduces the risk of missed hyperbolas or inconsistent manual marking.

3. A Lower Learning Curve

New operators can achieve reliable results without years of GPR experience.

4. Standardised Reporting

Consistent tagging improves documentation and communication across teams.

How AI Auto‑Tagging Works in Practice

When scanning with a Proceq GPR unit, such as the GP8000, GP8100, or GP8800 - the AI engine analyses the radargram in real time. As hyperbolas appear, the system automatically:

• Highlights them

• Tags them

• Counts them

• Displays them clearly in the GP App

This is especially valuable for tasks like:

• Rebar detection

• Concrete cover measurement

• Void identification

• Structural assessment

• Pre‑drilling safety checks

The result is a faster, clearer, and more confident workflow.
