Before concrete scanning services begin, the scanning team generally needs access to the concrete surface that will be investigated. The area should be reasonably clear of equipment, materials, and other obstacles so the GPR scanning process can be performed effectively.

Project details such as the scanning area, planned drilling or coring locations, construction drawings, and scope of work can also help technicians determine the appropriate scanning approach. Providing available project information allows the team to focus on the areas that require investigation.

Professional concrete scanning does not normally require destructive excavation because GPR technology can examine subsurface conditions from the concrete surface. Our team uses the available project information and scanning results to help identify embedded utilities and structures before concrete is cut, drilled, or cored.
