Tenant Improvements
Support planned penetrations and service changes during fit-out work.
Embedded Utility Locating
Conduit & Utility Locating.
Help identify detectable conduits, sleeves, pipes and other embedded utilities within concrete slabs and walls before drilling, cutting, renovation or retrofit work begins.

Better subsurface information can support
renovation, penetration and service-routing decisions.
Plan Around Hidden Services
Find More Before Invasive Work Begins.
Concrete slabs and walls can contain multiple embedded services that are not visible from the surface. GPR scanning can help identify detectable conduits, sleeves, pipes and other subsurface features so project teams can make better-informed decisions before penetrations, demolition or new installations.
Existing utility routes are not always obvious.
Scanning can supplement available drawings and visual information when planning penetrations, service routes, renovations and retrofit work in existing concrete structures.
What We Can Help Locate

where distinguishable
✓
Mechanical and building-service
penetrations within concrete
✓
Detectable radiant heating or similar
embedded lines where conditions allow
✓
Communication, data and other
detectable conduit routes
Common Project Applications
MEP Installations
Gather information before routing new mechanical or electrical services.
Renovations
Investigate existing concrete where embedded utility routes are uncertain.
Retrofit Work
Support modifications to existing building systems and concrete elements.
Pre-Demolition
Gather additional information before selective demolition or concrete removal.
Penetration Planning
Support drilling, coring and cutting location decisions before work begins.
Utility Detection Depends on Site Conditions
GPR detects subsurface features through changes in material response. Some non-metallic, small, empty or deeper conduits may be more difficult to distinguish depending on concrete composition, reinforcement density, target depth, moisture and surface access. Available as-built drawings and other project information should also be considered.
The Process
From Work Area to Useful Utility Information.
A practical scanning process designed around the proposed work, accessible concrete surface and project requirements.
Review
We review the planned work, available drawings and accessible scan area.
Scan
GPR data is collected systematically across the agreed concrete surface.
Interpret
Detectable conduit, utility and other subsurface responses are reviewed.
Deliver
Agreed markings, scan information and/or project documentation are provided.
