Service Details
Our team uses high-resolution Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to scan slabs, walls, and decks before any core drilling, anchoring, or saw cutting takes place. We locate post-tensioning tendons, rebar, electrical conduit, plumbing, and voids in real time — helping prevent costly hits, injuries, or structural damage. Ideal for tenant improvements, MEP coordination, retrofits, and high-risk penetrations.
Service Benefits
- Strike Prevention:
Accurately detect PT tendons and hazards before you drill or cut. - Real-Time Markings:
Color-coded layout and onsite guidance, ready for your trades. - Jobsite Efficiency:
Same-day or next-day response keeps your project moving. - Code & Safety Alignment:
Reduces liability and supports safe field execution.
Experience and Qualifications
With extensive experience in post-tensioned environments and retrofit coordination, our scanning crew brings more than just radar — we bring context. We’ve worked across commercial towers, garages, hospitals, and high-risk retrofit zones, providing real-time support that keeps trades moving and safety intact. Whether you're working under live loads or inside occupied space, we help you cut smart — not blind.
What We Support

Void detection and slab thickness evaluation
Concrete Scanning FAQs
Concrete scanning helps locate embedded objects such as post-tensioning tendons, rebar, conduit, and sleeves before drilling, cutting, or anchoring — reducing risk of damage, delay, and injury.
Ground Penetrating Radar sends radar pulses into the concrete and reads signal reflections to map what's inside — including depth and layout of cables, pipes, and voids.
Yes. Our GPR systems are designed to scan slabs, walls, beams, and columns — including both horizontal and vertical concrete elements.
Yes. All key findings are marked on the concrete surface using color-coded lines, helping drillers and trades avoid hazards in real time.
Scanning prevents tendon blowouts, conduit strikes, electrical or plumbing damage, core drill failure, and costly structural repairs due to blind cutting.
We provide real-time onsite markings and verbal briefings — with optional reports if needed. In most cases, same-day scanning and support is available.
Yes. We can identify potential voids, changes in slab thickness, and verify embed depths to support anchor design or slab modification plans.
Every core or cut carries risk. Even familiar locations can hide surprises. Scanning before every penetration is the safest way to avoid critical damage and liability.
