Concrete Scanning

Safe Site Utility Services provides professional concrete scanning services for safe, accurate, and efficient detection of embedded features in concrete structures.

Our GPR technology delivers non-destructive, real-time imaging for cutting, coring, renovation, inspection, and environmental projects of any scale or complexity.

What we scan

  • Slab on grade
  • Elevated or suspended slab
  • Walls
  • Bridge deck and pedestrian walkways

Benefits of GPR Concrete Scanning

Real-World Application Example

Before coring into a hospital slab, a technician performs GPR concrete scanning to identify and mark:

  • Rebar grid (every 12″ spacing)
  • Electrical conduit at 2″ depth
  • PT cable at 5″ depth

 

They clear a 2’ x 2’ safe zone for the coring crew—no surprises, no damage

GPR Concrete Scanning Functions

  • Locates rebar, wire mesh, conduits, post-tension cables, decking, embedded utilities, and subsurface voids, footers and beams
  • Detects metallic/non-metallic features and pipes
  • Offers concrete imaging up to ~18″ depth
  • Measures slab thickness

Deliverables You Can Depend On

  • Real-time surface marking and scan interpretation
  • Service report sent after project completion with photos
