GPR Scanning

Are you looking for a conduit, pipe, or even rebar? Let our professionals help you locate what you are trying to find in concrete.

Ways we put GPR scanners to use:

• Evaluate the condition of existing structures before renovations or demolitions
• Identify and map structural components, such as rebar, voids, and embedded objects
• Detect potential hazards or structural issues within existing buildings
• Ensure structural integrity while modifying or upgrading properties

Benefits of GPR Scanning:

• This non-destructive assessment saves time and reduces costs compared to traditional methods
• Ensures precise data for planning renovations, demolitions, or retrofits
• Protects workers and equipment by preventing unexpected encounters

GPR Scanning and Concrete Scanning Services

GPR scanning, also called ground penetrating radar scanning or concrete scanning, is used to help locate hidden materials inside concrete before cutting, drilling, coring, or demolition work begins.

National Concrete Cutting Inc. provides GPR scanning for contractors, builders, property owners, institutions, commercial sites, industrial facilities, and renovation projects across Kingston and Southeastern Ontario.

Concrete can hide rebar, conduit, pipes, voids, post-installed systems, and other embedded objects. Cutting or drilling without checking first can create safety risks, damage utilities, delay the job, and increase costs.
GPR scanning helps identify what may be inside the concrete so the work can be planned more safely.

Common Uses for GPR Scanning

• Locate rebar

• Locate conduit

• Locate pipes

• Identify embedded objects

• Identify possible voids

• Check concrete before core drilling

• Check concrete before slab sawing

• Check concrete before wall sawing

• Support renovation planning

• Reduce the risk of utility strikes

• Help protect workers and equipment

When Should You Use GPR Scanning?

You should consider GPR scanning before:

• Drilling through a concrete slab

• Cutting a trench through a concrete floor

• Creating wall openings

• Sawing near suspected conduit or utilities

• Renovating an older building

• Working in commercial or institutional buildings

• Cutting near mechanical, electrical, or plumbing systems

• Removing concrete where embedded objects may be present

GPR Scanning Helps You Make Better Decisions

GPR scanning is a non-destructive way to collect information before cutting or drilling.

It does not replace engineering judgment, drawings, or site knowledge, but it can provide useful information that helps reduce risk and plan the job properly.
