Accurate Non-Destructive Testing with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Concrete Rebar GPR scanning uses Ground Penetrating Radar technology to accurately locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and voids within concrete structures—without destructive coring or drilling.
This non-invasive method is essential for:
Construction planning
Structural assessments
Renovations & retrofits
Compliance with building codes & safety standards
GPR scanning offers major advantages:
✅ Non-destructive: No damage to concrete or finishes
✅ Safe & fast: Scan areas in real-time with immediate results
✅ Accurate: Pinpoint exact depth & spacing of embedded objects
✅ Cost-effective: Avoid delays, utility hits, and safety hazards
✅ Required: For structural inspections and cutting approvals
We and our consultants provide high-resolution GPR scanning for:
Rebar mapping & depth estimation
Post-tension cable location
Conduit & utility detection
Slab thickness measurement
Void & delamination detection
Core drilling & saw cutting clearance
As-built verification for engineering reports
Serving Florida and nearby regions:
Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota
Jacksonville, Gainesville, Tallahassee
Feature Detected | Description |
---|---|
Rebar | Grid layout, depth, and spacing |
Post-tension cables | Accurate location to prevent damage |
Electrical conduit | PVC, metal, and embedded utilities |
Voids/air pockets | Hidden below concrete slab or deck |
Slab thickness | Verify during inspections or retrofits |
Before cutting or coring concrete, ALWAYS scan to avoid:
Damaging structural steel or post-tension cables
Cutting live electrical conduits
Structural collapse from unsupported voids
Expensive repair costs
Worker injury and liability
Commercial & industrial construction
Engineers & architects
Residential builders & remodelers
Universities & hospitals
Airports, bridges & government infrastructure
High-frequency radar pulses generate a 2D or 3D image of embedded concrete features. We provide annotated scan reports with exact location, depth, and recommendations.

FAQ Section
✅ Yes. GPR is completely non-invasive and emits no harmful radiation.
✅ Up to 18–24 inches in concrete, depending on slab density and moisture content.
✅ Yes, we mark findings in real-time on the slab using chalk or paint.
Concrete GPR Cable PT Cable detection Scan Tampa, Sarasota, Clearwater, St. Petersburg and surrounding areas can locate rebar and post-tension cables within the concrete using Hilti PS 1000 state of the art technology. Reinforcing steel locations are marked directly on the concrete surface to ensure safe and efficient drilling that will preserve the integrity of the structure and reduce the need for repairs or patching. This helps our clients conduct core drilling without accidents, injuries or delay. Concrete PT Cable detection GPR Scan is also useful when preparing for a renovation that includes electrical outfitting, plumbing, fire protection services, drain installation and duct work.

Concrete GPR Scan in Daytona, St. Augustine, Cocoa, Melbourne, and surrounding areas can locate rebar and post-tension cables within the concrete using Hilti PS 1000 state of the art GPR scan technology. Reinforcing steel locations are marked directly on the concrete surface to ensure safe and efficient drilling that will preserve the integrity of the structure and reduce the need for repairs or patching. This helps our clients conduct core drilling without accidents, injuries or delay. Concrete GPR Scan is also useful when preparing for a renovation that includes electrical outfitting, plumbing, fire protection services, drain installation, and ductwork.
When core drilling or saw cutting in commercial and industrial locations is needed, accurate detection of electrical conduits is essential for preventing safety risks, power outages and costly damages. Concrete for PT Cables Daytona provides two specific but different scanning services in this area: Elevated concrete slab scanning and concrete slab-on-grade locating. Elevated concrete slab scanning involves detecting embedded electrical conduits prior to core drilling a hole through the slab.
Concrete slab-on-grade locating – a concrete slab poured directly over dirt – involves scanning a trench line for conduits before conducting saw cutting and trenching to install a sanitary pipe, water line or something similar.
Also crucial in the Concrete GPR Xray Scan Daytona imaging process is determining what’s in the concrete structure. This includes gauging the concrete thickness, what the rebar content is, its spacing and its elevation within the slab. This extensive, critical information helps our clients and their teams to understand the makeup of the concrete. we also can determine concrete covers over the rebar using state of the art equipment.
We can also locate voids – air gaps between the sub-grade, dirt and the concrete slab-on- grade – hidden below concrete or asphalt surfaces. This degradation occurs over time due to compaction, pipe ruptures or erosion but is often undetectable on the surface. EMA Concrete GPR ground penetrating radar can help our clients locate these areas and – most important – avoid collapses.
COST OF CONCRETE GPR
Concrete rebar GPR testings are less expensive than XRAY due to its accuracy. The equipment is more expensive and a minimum of 2 operators is needed at all times. As a rule of thumb, concrete x-ray will cost double the hourly rate of GPR – although pricing by image may be more attractive for both parties. $150-$170 per image is fairly standard, combined with a mobilization charge of several hundred dollars. Night and weekend work is charged at 1.5 times standard rates which can lead to overtime rates too.
Protection from radiation is an important aspect of industrial radiography. The International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) had developed basic safety guidelines regarding the practice.
