Concrete Scanning Before Core Drilling & Cutting
Prevent costly damage and ensure safety with professional concrete scanning before any drilling or cutting operations. Our advanced GPR technology locates rebar, post-tension cables, and embedded utilities with precision.
Why Scan Before Drilling or Cutting?
Core drilling and concrete cutting operations pose significant risks when performed without proper scanning. Hidden rebar, post-tension cables, electrical conduits, and plumbing can cause expensive damage, project delays, and safety hazards.
Risks of Unscanned Drilling:
- Structural damage from cut rebar
- Post-tension cable failure
- Utility line damage
- Project delays and costs
Benefits of Pre-Scanning:
- Prevent structural damage
- Avoid utility strikes
- Ensure worker safety
- Save time and money
Our Concrete Scanning Process
Site Assessment & Planning
We review your drilling/cutting plans and assess the concrete structure to determine optimal scanning approach and equipment selection.
GPR Scanning
Using high-frequency ground penetrating radar, we systematically scan the areas where drilling or cutting will occur, identifying all embedded objects.
Data Analysis
Our certified technicians analyze the GPR data to identify rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and other embedded objects with precise depth measurements.
Marking & Documentation
We mark safe drilling locations on-site and provide detailed reports with CAD drawings showing all detected objects and recommended drilling zones.
What We Detect
- Rebar and reinforcement
- Post-tension cables
- Electrical conduits
- Plumbing lines
- HVAC ducts
- Voids and air gaps
