Concrete Scanning in Southern CA and Beyond

Know What’s Inside Before You Cut or Core.

Precision Scanning for Safer Work

What Our Concrete Scanning Service Covers

We use advanced imaging technology to map out what’s hidden inside your concrete—rebar, PT cables, conduits, and other embedded elements—so you can plan with confidence before cutting, coring, or drilling.


When to Use:

Ideal for slabs, walls, parking structures, foundations, and retaining walls — especially where PT cables are present.

How We Do It

Our 4-Step Concrete Scanning Process

01.

Project Review

We assess your plans and determine scan zones.

02.

Surface Scanning

Using GPR and concrete imaging tools, we identify rebar, PT cables, and embedded conduits.

03.

Mapping & Verification

Layouts are marked directly on the slab, with optional annotated photos or quick maps.

04.

Safety Confirmation

We walk your team through results so you can drill or cut confidently.

Concrete Scanning – Common Questions

  • What technology do you use for concrete scanning?

    We primarily use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect rebar, PT cables, and embedded utilities within concrete structures.

  • How deep can you scan?

    Typical scan depth ranges up to 1–40 inches, depending on concrete density and rebar layout.

  • What do I get after the scan?

    You’ll receive on-site markings, plus optional annotated photos or a quick map showing scan results.

  • Can you scan vertical surfaces or ceilings?

    Yes. We can scan walls, columns, and overhead slabs, provided the surfaces are accessible and clean.

  • Is concrete scanning safe for post-tension cables?

    Absolutely. Our non-destructive methods ensure no interference or damage to sensitive PT cables.
