Concrete Scanning in Kitimat, BC

Serving Kitimat and the Northern BC region

GPR concrete scanning to locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and voids before cutting or coring in BC structures.

Concrete scanning is a critical pre-construction service that uses ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to map the embedded elements within concrete structures before any cutting, coring, or demolition takes place. At LeakInspection.ca, we provide professional concrete scanning services for construction projects across British Columbia, helping contractors, engineers, and property owners avoid costly and dangerous strikes of rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and other embedded utilities. While concrete scanning is often associated with construction, it is also an essential tool for leak detection — particularly when locating slab leaks or planning access holes for plumbing repairs.

Our concrete scanning process uses high-frequency GPR antennas (1.6 GHz to 2.6 GHz) specifically designed for concrete investigation. These antennas provide high-resolution imaging of the upper 400-500 mm of concrete, which covers the typical depth of reinforcement and embedded services in most BC concrete structures. The radar signal penetrates the concrete and reflects off embedded objects, creating a real-time cross-sectional image (radargram) that our trained operators interpret on site. We can identify and mark the position and depth of rebar mats, post-tension cable bundles, conduits and electrical raceways, in-floor heating tubes, core drill anchor paths, and voids or delamination within the slab.

Our concrete scanning service is essential for several scenarios: before core drilling for plumbing or HVAC penetrations, before slab cutting for leak repair access, before anchor or dowel installation in existing concrete, for verifying post-tension cable locations in parking garages and podiums, for locating in-floor radiant heating tubes before floor removal or renovation, and for investigating concrete condition and void detection. We provide same-day on-site markings with paint and written documentation including depth information. Our service covers Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and all major BC centres where concrete construction is prevalent. We work with general contractors, leak repair specialists, structural engineers, and renovation companies to ensure safe, accurate concrete penetration.
