Concrete Scanning
Know what's in the slab before you cut.
We scan your concrete with ground-penetrating radar and mark what it finds — rebar, post-tension cable, conduit, voids — before you cut, core or drill. Non-destructive and documented.
What we find in concrete
Rebar and welded wire mesh. Post-tension cables, which are the ones you most want to know about before a cut. Electrical conduit and embedded pipe. Voids and honeycombing. Slab thickness and, where the slab allows, what's directly beneath it. We mark it all on the surface, in the APWA colour code, and photograph the marked area before we leave.
Why scan first
Cutting a post-tension cable can injure the operator, cost thousands to repair, and shut a job down for days. Hitting conduit trips power and rework. A scan costs a fraction of any one of those outcomes and takes a fraction of the time. This is the cheapest insurance on the job.
What to expect
Give us access to the scan face and mark the exact work area. We scan, mark our findings on the surface, and hand you a photographed record of what we located and what the scan could not resolve. If you're cutting a post-tension slab, let us know up front. It's the scan we take the most care with, and we plan the visit around it.
