GSSI, the world’s leading manufacturer of ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment, will be showcasing its latest GPR technology at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017, to be held March 7-11, 2017, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, Booth # S-62452. Technology to be featured includes the PaveScan® RDM asphalt density assessment tool, StructureScan™ Mini XT, and the UtilityScan® Pro utility detection tool.
The PaveScan RDM on display is an easy and affordable asphalt density assessment tool, ideal for uncovering problems that occur during the paving process, including poor uniformity and significant variations in density. PaveScan RDM helps avoid such premature failures as road raveling, cracking, and deterioration along joints. Seamlessly integrating with GPS systems, PaveScan RDM features a flexible, modular design that facilitates easy and efficient operation and data collection. It is available as a small, portable single sensor cart-based system or a three-sensor configuration using an extended cart or vehicle configuration. The system includes a cart, one to three sensors, a customized Panasonic ToughBook, Garmin Glo GPS, a concentrator box, and a variety of system accessories.
Also on display is the StructureScan Mini XT – the newest generation of GSSI’s popular all-in-one concrete inspection GPR system. Rugged, compact, and flexible, StructureScan Mini XT is a good choice for locating rebar, conduits, post-tension cables, and voids. The Mini XT can help identify structural elements, including pan deck and concrete cover, and can also provide real time determination of concrete slab thickness. The integrated concrete inspection tool comes with an antenna, positioning system, and control unit combination. Also on display with the StructureScan Mini XT is the new LineTrac™ XT accessory, which helps locate specific power sources in concrete, including AC power present in conduits.
Drop by the booth to see the UtilityScan Pro, the latest addition to the company’s popular UtilityScan GPR product line. UtilityScan systems are the industry standard for efficiently identifying and marking the location and depth of subsurface utilities, including gas, sewer, and communication lines. Featuring the SIR 4000 control unit, the UtilityScan Pro delivers the configurability and flexibility to address a wide range of utility applications. This advanced GPR system is ideal for locating gas, communications, sewer lines, and other metallic and nonmetallic targets, including underground storage tanks and PVC pipes.

We are proud to spotlight NASTT’s 2017 No-Dig Show Gold Sponsor and Corporate Member IPEX.
As the leader in thermoplastic piping systems, the IPEX companies design and manufacture the largest, most recognized and diverse range of integrated piping products – Everything professionals need to manage the full spectrum of today’s municipal, industrial, commercial and residential challenges.
Every day construction projects are breaking ground in some of the world’s toughest and most demanding environments. Chances are IPEX brand products and people are there. Whether it’s a water pipe being installed for a municipal system in the dead chill of an Alberta winter, or electrical fittings being installed in a new Arizona residential development under a punishing desert sun, an IPEX company is hard at work delivering reliable performance and value.
IPEX companies offer a comprehensive range of thermoplastic materials, products and accessories for a wide spectrum of demanding markets and applications. From systems that convey water, chemicals and gases, to conduit that carries power and data cabling. In resin materials from PVC and ABS to PVDF and PE. From solvent cements and cutting tools to electrofusion systems. No matter the product or application, every IPEX system comes with the integrated system advantage. What this means is that customers can be confident everything they need for their particular application is backed by the same company, instead of buying a piping system with components from different manufacturers.

Showcasing DTH Hammers & Bits in Central Hall 3-5 Booth C31610
THOMPSON, CONNECTICUT USA, January 18, 2017 – Numa, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of down hole hammers and bits, will be attending CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017 taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada March 7 – 11, 2017. Numa will be located in Central Hall 3-5 Booth C31610 with experienced staff on hand to meet with current and prospective customers and partners.
Numa will display a full range of DTH hammers and bits for drilling holes 3-1/2” to 48” (89 – 1219 mm) in diameter. Numa’s DTH products have proven to outdistance competitive hammers and bits in speed and longevity with each model designed for specific types of applications. This gives drillers the ultimate flexibility in product offering. A cutaway hammer will be on hand to provide attendees with the ability to see internal DTH hammer components and how it operates down the hole.
Also exhibited will be Numa’s Super Jaws® Overburden Bits. Super Jaws provides dependable performance and longevity for simultaneously drilling and casing holes in unconsolidated ground conditions of overburden, boulders, or bedrock. With its unique wing design, Super Jaws retracts back into the guide body when drilling is complete for extraction of all tooling while leaving the casing in place. There is no reverse rotation required, nor any expensive rings, saving drillers time and money. Super Jaws is capable of drilling hole sizes 5 ½” to 42” (139 – 1067 mm) in diameter.
Super Jaws is available in two versions. One version utilizes a drive shoe welded to the front of the casing. As the bit advances, the casing is advanced at the same rate due to the drive shoulder on the guide body contacting the drive shoe welded to the casing. The Super Jaws ND version allows the use of thick wall casing or thick wall threaded casing. The guide body has no drive shoulder and the casing is advanced via a casing hammer, duplex diverter, or dual rotary.
Stop by to visit Numa in Central Hall 3-5 Booth C31610.
