What a scan reveals

  • Rebar
  • Post-tension cables
  • Electrical conduit
  • Private utilities
  • Voids & defects
  • Slab thickness

One blind cut can cost a whole job.

Cutting or coring concrete without knowing what’s inside risks structural steel, live electrical, and buried lines. A quick scan removes the guesswork.

  • Protect structural integrity. Hitting a post-tension cable can shut a project down and trigger major repairs.
  • Avoid live lines. Locate conduit and utilities before the blade or bit goes in, not after.
  • Keep the schedule. A scan takes a fraction of the time a strike costs you in downtime and rework.

01

Rebar & post-tension location

Map reinforcement and PT cables before you cut or core, so the blade never finds them first.

02

Pre-core & pre-drill scans

Clear each core or anchor location for embedded steel, conduit, and lines before the bit goes in.

03

Saw-cutting layout scans

Mark a safe cut path across the slab so trenching and saw cutting stay clear of what’s buried.

04

Conduit & electrical detection

Find energized and dead conduit runs in slabs and walls before demolition or penetration.

05

Private utility locating

Locate private lines that public 811 markouts don’t cover, on the property side of the meter.

06

Void detection & slab thickness

Identify voids, soil washout under slabs, and confirm slab thickness before structural work.

Who we scan for

We work alongside the trades and teams who can’t afford a surprise inside the slab.

Common questions

What is GPR concrete scanning?+

GPR (ground-penetrating radar) sends a signal into concrete and reads what bounces back. It lets us map rebar, post-tension cables, conduit, and voids without drilling or damaging the slab.

Why scan before cutting or coring?+

Cutting blind risks structural steel, post-tension cables, and live electrical. A scan locates them first, protecting your crew, the structure, and your schedule.

How much does a scan cost?+

It depends on the site, the surface, and how many locations you need cleared. Call or request a quote and we’ll give you a straight number for your job.

How soon can you come out?+

We schedule scans across Orange County as quickly as the calendar allows. Reach out with your timeline and we’ll find the soonest window.

Can you scan walls and elevated decks?+

Yes. GPR works on slabs, walls, columns, and elevated decks, anywhere you need to know what’s inside the concrete before you penetrate it.

Do you locate private utilities?+

Yes. We locate private lines on the property side that public 811 markouts don’t cover, so nothing buried catches your crew off guard.
