ICF vs. an affordable wall scanner

[ablebaker]

I have a 24' X 48' ICF (side walls) garage that I would like to hang shelves and panels in.

This will require setting some anchors into the walls. I'm looking for an affordable wall scanner that will help identify live wires, re-bar, and pipes under 1/2 or 5/8 sheet rock on top of 2" of foam which is on 6 1/4" of re-enforced concrete.

I've reviewed everything below $200, wondered if anyone had any good results with or recommendations for a moderately priced scanner, currently I'm leaning towards a Bosch GMS 120.

Thanks for any guidance you may be able to give me.

The Franklin Prosensor is a little over 50 bucks. You will sometimes find it in Costco for quite a bit less. The Franklins are yellow and in the past the Costcos were rebranded and blue. It has done the job for me.

How or why do you feel that the Franklin Processor can work with concrete walls?

The OP needs to be able to find the internal support system in the ICF forms that are designed to carry load like a wood stud. Also needs to be able to find utilities in the wall as they are cut into the insulation normally. sometimes conduit is used as well, but before pulling out the rotor hammer it would be good to know nothing important in the way.

I need to find a decent scanner I also have a ICF home..... but I have heard others on ICF forms talk about a Bosch .. don't recall the exact model but I thought it was about 200 - 300 ish range used... and not this basic scanner.

OP If you know the manufacture of the ICF you should be able to find out the attachment spacing of their units unless you just want to drill a hole and use concrete screws.

My home seems to have most if not all of the electrical running vertically from the attic with little to none going horizontal ... its a trip to look from the attic and see so much running up and down.
