Pre-Core & Pre-Cut Concrete Scanning in British Columbia

Professional Pre-Core & Pre-Cut Concrete Scanning

Pre-core and pre-cut concrete scanning is a safety-critical service for any project involving coring, cutting, or drilling concrete. Before the first core is drilled or cut begins, we scan the concrete to identify embedded utilities — rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, in-floor heating pipes, and water lines. The scan grid is marked on the slab surface, showing contractors exactly where it is safe to work and where embedded elements must be avoided. This service is required by many BC construction safety programs and is the standard practice for responsible concrete contractors.
