GPR Concrete Scanning in British Columbia
Non-invasive concrete scanning with ground-penetrating radar to locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduit, and pipes before cutting or drilling.
Professional GPR Concrete Scanning
GPR concrete scanning is the safest and most accurate way to see inside concrete before any cutting, coring, drilling, or anchoring. Ground-penetrating radar transmits high-frequency electromagnetic pulses through the concrete slab and detects reflections from embedded objects — rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, pipes, and voids. Our technicians produce detailed scan maps showing the position and depth of every embedded element, allowing contractors to work with complete confidence. This service is essential for BC construction projects where striking a post-tension cable or electrical conduit could cause catastrophic failure, injury, or costly delays.
