Before you cut, core, drill, or anchor into a slab, it is critical to know what is inside the concrete. Con-Cor now provides in-house ground penetrating radar (GPR) for concrete scanning to help reduce risk, avoid strikes, and keep projects moving.

What is GPR Concrete Scanning?

GPR concrete scanning is a non-destructive method that uses ground penetrating radar to locate embedded items inside concrete prior to cutting, core drilling, saw cutting, trenching, or installation of anchors and fasteners.

When GPR Scanning Is Used

GPR concrete scanning is commonly performed before concrete cutting, core drilling, trenching, anchor installation, or structural modifications to help identify hidden obstructions. Using ground-penetrating radar ahead of time helps reduce uncertainty and avoid unexpected conflicts during work.

What We Help Locate

  • Post-tension cables (PT)
  • Rebar and reinforcement
  • Electrical conduit and embedded lines
  • Plumbing runs and sleeves
  • Other embedded obstructions that can impact field work

Why Con-Cor GPR

We perform ground penetrating radar concrete scanning firsthand, not subcontracted. This means more responsive scheduling, direct technician communication, and quicker turnaround on field documentation because the workflow stays internal.

Our team performs ground penetrating radar scanning on active construction sites where accuracy and timing directly impact project outcomes.

Equipment & Technology

Equipment: GSSI Flex NX, powered by Nexus, used for advanced GPR scanning.

How It Works

  1. Share jobsite address and scope (plans optional).
  2. We schedule and perform concrete scanning using ground penetrating radar in the areas of concern.
  3. Findings are marked and communicated to support safe concrete cutting or coring.
  4. Field documentation and reporting are delivered based on project needs.

Ground Penetrating Radar FAQs

Ground penetrating radar is used to locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduit, and other embedded objects before cutting or drilling into concrete.

Ground penetrating radar is faster, does not require access to both sides of the slab, and is commonly used for most concrete scanning applications.

Concrete scanning using GPR provides highly accurate results when performed by trained technicians, helping reduce the risk of damaging embedded systems.

Yes, concrete scanning is strongly recommended before core drilling to help avoid striking rebar, cables, or embedded utilities.
