GPR and X-ray both scan concrete, but one is faster, safer, and more practical for most job sites. Here’s what contractors need to know.
GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) is a non-destructive method used to detect embedded objects like rebar, conduits, post-tension cables, and voids within concrete before cutting or coring.
Striking hidden objects can result in costly repairs, safety hazards, or project delays. Scanning first reduces those risks and ensures safer, more precise work.
GPR is faster, safer, and doesn’t require site evacuation. Unlike X-ray, GPR can scan from one side and provide immediate results without radiation.
On average, GPR can scan up to 18–24 inches deep in concrete, depending on conditions like moisture, thickness, and reinforcement density.
We can detect shallow-buried utilities including conduit, water lines, telecom cables, power lines, and other subsurface infrastructure.
Yes. GPR uses non-ionizing radar waves, making it completely safe to use in occupied areas and indoor environments.
We offer a range of core bit sizes, from small-diameter holes to large penetrations—customizable based on your project’s needs.
It helps to clear the area of equipment or debris. We’ll handle the rest, including a walkthrough to confirm layout and scope.
We offer fast turnaround across the Tampa Bay area. Same-day or next-day service is often available depending on scheduling.
Yes. We provide clear surface markings during the scan and can also offer photos or scan summaries upon request.
