Concrete scanning
CSI’s Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) service delivers fast, accurate, and non-destructive concrete scanning to identify rebar, conduits, post-tension cables, and voids—ensuring your project is safe before you cut or core.
Concrete Scanning – Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
When it comes to construction, safety and accuracy are everything. Before you cut, core, or drill, trust Concrete Scanning and Imaging, Inc. (CSI) to identify exactly what lies beneath the surface. Using advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology, we help contractors, engineers, and property managers avoid costly mistakes, keep projects on schedule, and ensure a safe work environment.
What is GPR Concrete Scanning?
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive, FCC-regulated technology that uses radar signals to safely locate embedded objects in concrete. Unlike invasive methods, GPR delivers fast, accurate results without damaging the structure. Our technicians provide immediate mark-outs and analysis right on-site, so you can make informed decisions instantly.
What We Detect With Concrete Scanning
Locate rebar, post-tension cables, and conduits
Before any cutting or coring, CSI uses advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to precisely locate rebar, post-tension cables, and electrical conduits. This ensures that hidden elements within the concrete are identified and protected. Damaging these components can compromise structural integrity and lead to costly repairs. With CSI’s scanning services, you gain the confidence to move forward safely.
Detect voids and structural elements in slabs and walls
Our GPR technology goes beyond surface detection—it identifies voids and key structural elements hidden within slabs and walls. These insights are critical for understanding the condition and composition of your structure. By detecting anomalies early, we help prevent unexpected issues during construction or renovation. The result is safer, more predictable project outcomes.
Perform slab-on-grade scanning from a single side of the surface
CSI’s Ground Penetrating Radar makes slab-on-grade scanning efficient and non-invasive. Our technicians can complete inspections from just one side of the surface, minimizing disruption to your site. This method provides accurate imaging without requiring access to both sides of a slab or wall. It’s a fast, reliable solution designed for busy construction environments.
Receive immediate on-site results with clear mark-outs for safe cutting and coring
With CSI, results are delivered immediately on-site so you don’t waste time waiting for reports. Our technicians provide clear mark-outs that guide safe cutting, coring, and drilling. This instant feedback keeps your project on schedule and reduces costly downtime. By scanning first, you ensure precision and safety every step of the way.
Why It's Important To Scan Before You Cut
Cutting or coring without scanning can lead to:
- Damage to critical infrastructure (electrical conduits, rebar, plumbing, post-tension cables)
- Costly project delays caused by accidents or emergency repairs
- Serious safety hazards for workers and surrounding structures
By scanning before you cut, you eliminate unnecessary risks and protect your project, your crew, and your budget.
