CONCRETE SCANNING IN Massachusetts
Professional Concrete Scanning Services Using Ground Penetrating Radar
GPR Boston provides professional concrete scanning services throughout Massachusetts, supporting commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects where accurate subsurface information is essential. Using advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) equipment, we help project teams identify embedded objects within concrete before cutting, coring, drilling, or demolition begins.
​
With nearly two decades of field experience, our team works across Massachusetts job sites to reduce risk, prevent damage, and support informed decision-making during planning and execution.
​
In addition to projects in Massachusetts, we provide concrete scanning services to clients across the Northeast.
CONCRETE SCANNING SERVICES ACROSS MASSACHUSETTS
Concrete scanning is a critical step on construction and renovation projects throughout Massachusetts, particularly where existing conditions are unknown or documentation is limited. GPR Boston supports projects of all sizes, from small facility upgrades to large-scale infrastructure work.
​
Our concrete scanning services are commonly used for:
-
Commercial construction and tenant improvements
-
Institutional and healthcare facilities
-
Industrial and manufacturing sites
-
Infrastructure and transportation projects
-
Renovation, retrofit, and adaptive reuse
​
Massachusetts construction often involves older buildings, layered renovations, and evolving building systems. Concrete scanning provides visibility below the surface without destructive investigation.
WHAT WE LOCATE WITH CONCRETE SCANNING
Using Ground Penetrating Radar, GPR Boston specializes in locating embedded objects and conditions within concrete, including:
-
Rebar and reinforcing steel
-
Post-tension (PT) cables
-
Electrical conduit embedded in concrete
-
Pipes within concrete slabs and walls
-
Pipes beneath concrete slabs
-
Voids and anomalies within concrete
-
Radiant heating systems
-
Concrete beams and columns
-
Structural steel within concrete
​
Accurate identification of these elements helps protect structural integrity and job site safety while minimizing costly mistakes.
WHY CONCRETE SCANNING MATTERS IN MASSACHUSETTS
Concrete often contains critical structural and utility elements that are not visible from the surface. Striking rebar, post-tension cables, conduit, or piping can result in safety hazards, structural damage, and project 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
Across Massachusetts infrastructure and commercial sites, concrete scanning is most effective when performed before work begins.
OUR APPROACH
GPR Boston takes a solutions-based approach to concrete scanning. We don’t simply collect data — we interpret findings based on real-world field experience and communicate results clearly so project teams can move forward with confidence.
Our experience spans thousands of scans across a wide range of construction, renovation, and infrastructure projects throughout Massachusetts.
WHEN CONCRETE SCANNING IS REQUIRED
Concrete scanning is commonly performed prior to:
-
Cutting or coring concrete
-
Drilling or anchoring
-
Saw cutting or selective demolition
-
Renovation or retrofit work
-
Modifications during new construction
​
Early scanning helps ensure work proceeds safely and efficiently.
