Concrete scanning with GPR
Core&Saw has been offering its clients engineering and construction services based on the use of advanced technologies for more than 15 years. We keep up with the times in our work, applying technical innovations and accumulating personal practical experience. GPR Scanning is a type of our service that allows you to conduct a non-contact and non-destructive examination of any piece of land, building, or structure. This type of examination requires the skill and knowledge of the specialist involved in interpreting the instrument readings, and these are the professionals who work at Core&Saw.
What opportunities does GPR scanning provide?
An important advantage of geotechnical research is the absence of physical intervention in the object being studied. This is an excellent way to assess the condition of the soil or building structure, such as a foundation, without the slightest violation of its integrity. GPR Scanning allows you to quickly determine the location of hidden communications and diagnose existing problems while maintaining the original appearance of the site or part of the building being examined.
GPR scanning uses instruments, including a scanner with replaceable modules that emit and receive electromagnetic radiation and a recording unit that processes and reflects the results. With this research, you can:
- identify the presence of karst cavities in the ground or under the foundation;
- find out about the location of utilities, steel beams, reinforcement, and other structural components;
- get an idea of the composition of the soil and the arrangement of layers of different rocks;
- determine the groundwater level, identify pipeline leaks, and obtain other information.
Modern ground penetrating radar can display scanning data directly on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop screen, so research instruments have become more compact and easier to transport.
X-ray of concrete
Another way to study the structure of a concrete structure without destroying it is by using an x-ray. Its advantage is the high accuracy of the information obtained, leaving less room for discrepancies when interpreting the image by a specialist. Concrete X-ray is produced by placing radiation material on one part of the concrete structure and the receiving part of the device on the other.
Core&Saw has all the necessary equipment to conduct such a study at your site. Our team consists of competent professionals in their field. By contacting Core&Saw, you will receive all the necessary data on the condition of your concrete structures. This service is extremely appropriate when conducting inspections of old buildings before their reconstruction and repair.

What Can We Find Using Concrete Scanning?
Construction of new facilities
GPR Scanning allows you to get an idea of a land plot's characteristics before development. This helps ensure the quality of the foundation laid.Inspection of various structures
Using ground radar scanning, data is obtained on the condition of runways at airports, highways, and other objects.Reconstruction and overhaul
X-ray of concrete and GPR Scanning help to correctly assess the feasibility and scope of repair work.Troubleshooting
Using non-contact research methods, you can detect defects in utility networks and establish the fact of illegal connection.Household plots
Private household owners often turn to us to ensure that nothing underground will interfere with the construction of a new building on the site or landscaping work.
FAQ
What is the difference between GPR Scanning and X-ray?
GPR scanning can be completed faster and is safer for the environment and health. In addition, you can monitor the study's progress in real-time without waiting for the image to be processed. GPR Scanning can be carried out directly during the working day at the site; the withdrawal of employees is not required. In addition, to scan, we only need to access one side of the examined object.
How much does GPR Scanning cost?
To get a preliminary answer to this question, talk to our consultant. You will tell him where the scanning will need to be carried out and answer clarifying questions—this will be enough to calculate the cost roughly.
How deep can a GPR scan be performed?
Data can vary significantly depending on materials and mineral formations, but on average, we can study concrete structures up to 32 inches thick and land areas up to 30 feet deep. In most cases, this is enough to study the land for development and the condition of structures and communications.
