The Rebar Plus rebar locator

Locate rebars quickly and accurately Drilling through rebars can be dangerous and expensive, but trying to avoid them can be time-consuming. Anybody working with reinforced concrete needs to know quickly and exactly where the rebars are to avoid cutting through load bearing rebars, leaving unsightly unnecessary holes, damaging the drill or weakening the reinforced structure. Protovale's Rebar Plus uses our unique technology to locate rebars or welded mesh fabric precisely and reliably, and since it is not affected by moisture, temperature changes or electrical interference, the Rebar Plus is extremely stable even under the most arduous site conditions. Fast to use The loud audible signal and a clear analogue meter enables you to scan quickly and accurately. Easy to use Only one control knob and two switches Rugged yet lightweight Work all day without tiring. Versatile Although it was not designed as a cover meter, the Rebar Plus can also estimate the depth of cover. It can also be used with the Protovale Borehole Probe (see below) for location of tendon ducts or during the installation of discrete anodes. On one project, using the Rebar Plus with borehole probe attachment, we drilled 3,500 holes and had only three misses. It's a quality instrument.   In my experience, nothing on the market even comes close. Chuck Queen, Project Manager, Nielsen Dillingham Builders, Inc. USA

Cut Costs --  not rebars Map out rebars;  find 'safe spots' before drilling The narrow controlled search field of the Rebar Plus easily identifies vertical and horizontal bars allowing a safe spot to be marked prior to drilling even when used near metal window frames or scaffolding.           The Protovale Advantage All Protovale instruments are designed by the world's leading experts in the field of pulse induction technology.  They use a unique system which is unaffected by moisture or temperature, making Protovale instruments remarkably stable in all site conditions.       Please contact us now for more information or a free demonstration   Protovale Oxford Ltd, Rectory Lane Trading Estate Kingston Bagpuize, Abingdon OX13 5AS, England Tel: +44 (0) 1865 821277, Fax: +44 (0) 1865 820573 email: info@protovale.co.uk
