WHY CONCRETE SCANNING MATTERS
Concrete often contains critical structural and utility elements that are not visible from the surface. Striking rebar, post-tension cables, conduit, or embedded piping can result in serious safety risks, structural damage, and costly delays.
Concrete scanning with GPR allows project teams to:
-
Identify embedded objects before cutting or coring
-
Reduce the risk of damaging structural components
-
Improve job site safety
-
Support accurate layout and planning
-
Avoid unnecessary repairs and downtime
WHEN CONCRETE SCANNING IS REQUIRED
Situations where scanning helps reduce risk and prevent costly mistakes.
-
Cutting or coring concrete
-
Drilling or anchoring
-
Saw cutting or demolition
-
Renovation or retrofit work
-
New construction modifications
Concrete scanning is most effective when performed early in the planning process. Identifying embedded and concealed objects before work begins helps project teams avoid unexpected damage, delays, and safety risks.
