Rebar Scanning and Concrete Imaging

A rebar scanner is a non-destructive tool such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) that uses radio signals to detect and image materials within concrete structures. When the radio wave encounters an object, it reflects back and produces a reading that displays these reflections as hyperbolas on the screen. This specialized tool is used by GPR concrete scanning Project Managers to locate structural reinforcements, such as rebar, within concrete slabs before any cutting, coring, or drilling takes place.

We are using Proceq8000GP. The GP8000 is a portable concrete GPR radar. Faster, easier concrete inspections and structural imaging with SFCW ground penetrating radar technology.

Why Concrete Imaging and Scanning is Essential

When planning any work on a concrete structure whether for a renovation or repair project there’s always a risk of encountering hidden obstacles like:

  • Rebar
  • Electrical conduits
  • Post-tension cables
  • Pipes and utility lines

Without proper scanning, these hidden elements can lead to significant safety hazards, equipment damage, and costly project delays. Our concrete imaging and scanning services minimize these risks by providing clear, accurate data about the internal structure of concrete slabs and walls.

Safe and Accurate Detection

We use advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and X-ray technology to perform non-destructive testing on concrete. This allows us to:

  • Accurately locate and map rebar, conduits, and cables
  • Identify voids and cracks within the concrete
  • Assess concrete thickness and quality

Our scanning techniques ensure safe cutting, coring, and drilling while preserving the structural integrity of the concrete, avoiding costly mistakes and potential hazards.
