Core Drilling
Scan before planned concrete penetrations and core locations.
Concrete Investigation
Concrete GPR Scanning.
Gain useful subsurface information before drilling, coring, cutting or anchoring. GPR can help identify detectable reinforcement, conduits and other embedded features without damaging the concrete surface.

Why Scan First?
Know More About the Concrete Before You Start.
Ground Penetrating Radar provides non-destructive information about detectable subsurface features. This helps project teams make better-informed decisions before drilling, coring, cutting, anchoring or modifying concrete.
What GPR Can Help Identify
✓
Rebar and reinforcement patterns
✓
Detectable post-tension tendons
and ducts
✓
Conduits, sleeves and other
detectable embedded utilities
✓
Material changes and anomalous
subsurface responses
✓
Concrete thickness information
where site conditions allow
When Concrete GPR Scanning Is Useful
Concrete Cutting
Gather subsurface information before saw cutting or openings.
Anchoring
Support planning for anchors, fasteners and equipment installation.
Renovation
Investigate existing concrete during retrofit and modification work.
MEP Work
Support planned penetrations for mechanical and electrical work.
Investigation
Gather additional information about existing concrete conditions.
Important GPR Limitation
GPR does not guarantee detection of every embedded feature. Results can vary depending on concrete composition, reinforcement density, target depth, moisture, surface accessibility and other site conditions. Available drawings and appropriate safe-work practices should also be considered.
The Process
From Scan to Useful Field Information.
A straightforward process focused on the planned work and agreed scanning requirements.
Review
We review your planned work, available information and accessible scan area.
Scan
The agreed concrete area is scanned systematically using GPR equipment.
Interpret
Detectable targets and anomalous responses are reviewed and interpreted.
Deliver
Agreed markings, scan information and/or project documentation are provided.
