Concrete Scanning Services
Concrete scanning is absolutely vital for safeguarding the integrity of your structure and preventing unforeseen costly damages. When undertaking projects like concrete cutting, core drilling, chipping, window installation, or drop ceiling installation, pinpointing the exact locations of post-tension cables, conduits, and structural reinforcements is essential.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) provides real-time data on these hidden elements, allowing for precise marking and significantly enhancing safety. By identifying these crucial components, GPR minimizes damages, helps keep the project on track, in budget, and preserves the building’s structural integrity.
Experts in damage prevention we utilize the most advanced GPR technology to accurately detect post-tension cables, conduits, rebar, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does GPR Work?
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), also known as Concrete Scanning, Concrete X-ray or Concrete Imaging, operates by sending pulses of energy into concrete and measuring the strength and time of the returning
signal. The equipment repeatedly performs this action as it moves across the surface, processing the data to produce a real-time visual on the monitor. This data is then interpreted by a skilled GPR Operator.
How Long Does Data Processing Take?
Data is collected in real time, eliminating the need for post-job processing. The GPR Operator can immediately mark findings as they occur, enabling prompt decision-making.
How Are Findings Noted?
After scanning, findings are marked directly on the surface using spray paint or lumber crayon. Items can be color-coded and labeled for easy identification, and reports of the findings can be generated.
Is GPR Safe?
Yes, GPR is safe to use around people. Its frequency emissions are lower than those of a smartphone, posing no risk to individuals.
How Mobile Is The Equipment?
The equipment is compact and highly mobile, allowing it to scan most surfaces as long as they are relatively smooth and dry.
Is GPR Noisy?
No, GPR operates quietly, making it a non-intrusive option for scanning.
