Proceq GPR Live: Powerful sensors with radar beams for every application. Intelligent software at your fingertips. The mission behind Proceq GPR is simple: to look into concrete deeply and clearly, to detect objects effortlessly and reliably, and to collaborate anywhere, anytime, for hit prevention, as-built verification, and structural investigation. The lightweight, rugged Proceq GP8000, Proceq GP8100 and Proceq GP8800 sensors are the world's first and only handheld GPR devices with Stepped-Frequency Continuous-Wave technology. The true-ultrawideband antennas and Swiss-made, optimized electronics deliver unparalleled resolution and penetration depth—at the same time. The magic starts once you connect a Proceq GPR sensor wireless to your iPad and fire up the Proceq GPR Live app. The lightning-fast user interface increases your productivity by making measurements and analysis a breeze with intuitive gestures and controls; for example, by switching between real-time radargram and migrated views on the fly. A rich feature set brings advanced workflows on-site, so that you can get more things done while in the field. Broaden your measurements with geolocation, tags, photos, voice memos and comments in the Logbook. Enrich the raw data, migrated, superline and time slice views with your annotations. Access and share them with colleagues anywhere, anytime, and export your measurements into the URL, SEGY, WORD, EXCEL and HTML formats for post-processsing and reporting, thanks to the Screening Eagle Workspace. Detect the presence of alternating current with the built-in Live Wire kit (Proceq GP8000 and Proceq GP8100 only). Instantly reconfigure the wireless wheel and the antenna polarization without tools or screws (Proceq GP8800 only). Look deep into concrete on-site with Time-Slice View and 3D View, and superimpose these views onto the structure with robust, accurate Augmented Reality—an industry first. Building on these advanced visualization capabilities, AI-powered features further boost productivity. AI Autotagging automatically detects and tags most objects in the scan and generates Excel-ready reports with object positions, depths, and distances, dramatically reducing manual interpretation and accelerating reporting The Proceq GPR Live product family enables both quick spot-checking and deep imaging of concrete structures, including shallow utility locating (Proceq GP8000 and Proceq GP8100 only). And that is why it is the perfect complement to Pundit Ultrasonic PD8050 and Profometer PM8000 & PM8500 by Screening Eagle Technologies.

Built by a working ironworker for the people who actually do the work — welders, ironworkers, fabricators, and riggers. Over 40 field references in your pocket, and every bit of it works offline, so a dead signal on the jobsite doesn't matter. No fluff. No login. No account. Just the things you actually look up on the iron. SEE IT, DON'T JUST READ IT 15 animated diagrams that show how the work really goes: Fillet welds — anatomy, watch it weld, common mistakes, what inspectors check Full penetration (CJP) vs partial (PJP) — watch a groove fill root to cap Weld symbols, joint types, groove types, multi-pass Laying a bead in stick, MIG, TIG, and flux core Welding positions — fillet, groove, and pipe Torch cutting, plasma cutting, heat colors, distortion Rigging hitches and weld defects THE TOOLBOX Eight calculators built for real jobsite math: Steel weight — beams and plate, pounds and tons Fraction / decimal / millimeter converter Triangle — rise, run, diagonal, angle Pipe offset — travel and run at any fitting angle Bolt circle layout — hole coordinates and chord spacing Rigging load — tension per leg as the sling angle drops Welding amperage by process and thickness Cut list — saves your pieces and totals the footage Plus favorites, recent tools, and a notes pad that stays put. SLING ANGLE VISUALIZER Drag the slider and watch the load multiply as the angle drops. A 30° sling puts twice the load in every leg. Know it before you rig it. PRO TAPE CALCULATOR Feet-inch-fraction math that works the way you talk. Punch in 12 ft 4 in 3/8 and add, subtract, multiply, divide. Convert feet straight to total inches for the plasma table. Area, volume, right angle, and rafter math built in. REFERENCE Weld symbols, electrode and settings charts, plasma cut charts, bolt torque and turn-of-nut tables, crane hand signals, material guide for A36, A572, stainless and aluminum, rebar, drill speeds, grinding discs, and more. SEVEN THEMES Iron, Arc, Ironblood, Field, Steel, Rose, and Daylight — pick whatever reads best in your light. BUILT FOR THE FIELD Works 100% offline No account, no sign-up, no ads Fast and readable with gloves on, in daylight IronWorker Pro is a field reference and training aid — not an engineering authority. Always follow your drawings, your WPS, the sling tag, a qualified rigger, and your employer's safety program. Welding and rigging are life-safety work. When in doubt, ask a competent person. Built for the iron. Trusted on the job.
