Concrete Rebar GPR Scanning Services

Accurate Non-Destructive Testing with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)


What Is Concrete Rebar 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


Why Use GPR for Concrete Rebar GPR Detection?

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


Applications of Concrete Rebar GPR

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

🛑 Avoid These Common GPR Mistakes

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

FAQ Section

❓ Is GPR scanning safe for occupied buildings?

✅ Yes. GPR is completely non-invasive and emits no harmful radiation.

❓ How deep can GPR detect rebar?

✅ Up to 18–24 inches in concrete, depending on slab density and moisture content.

❓ Do you provide marked layouts on-site?

✅ Yes, we mark findings in real-time on the slab using chalk or paint.

Concrete Rebar GPR Detection Scan

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 LOCATING EMBEDDED ELECTRICAL SERVICES

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.

EMA consultants can perform Concrete X-Rays in Tampa, Orlando, Clearwater

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.

CONCRETE GPR SCAN DAYTONA

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.

VOIDS DETECTION AND LOCATIONS

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.
