Need concrete scanning services in Florida? Call GeoTek Services and save your project time and cost with our precision Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services. Geotek Services provides Ground Penetrating Radar and concrete slab scanning across the state of Florida.
Our experienced technicians utilize state-of-the-art georadar instruments to provide fast and safe radar-based scanning of your concrete structures. Ground radar can detect most common objects and subsurface structures embedded in the concrete. Detected embedments include pre-stressed and post-tension cables, conduits, rebar, pipes, and welded wire fabric.
GPR Concrete Slab Scanning in Florida
Ground-penetrating radar uses radio waves to non-destructively scan below the concrete surface. The GPR system analyzes the returned radar waves reflected from subsurface objects. GPR georadar detects objects within concrete such as pipes, rebar, conduits, welded wire fabric, and post-tension cables – and is well suited for structural investigations. GeoTek Services uses a variety of high-frequency GPR systems to scan concrete structures. Let Geotek Services scan before you cut or core!

How is Concrete Imaging Performed?
Concrete imaging is typically performed using a technology known as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). This method employs radar pulses to capture images of objects embedded within concrete structures. The GPR instrument is moved across the concrete surface, sending high-frequency radio waves into the material. These waves bounce back upon hitting an embedded object, such as rebar or conduits, creating a detailed view of what’s inside. This entire process is remarkably fast, often taking only a few minutes to scan a specific area.
Advantages of Using GPR for Concrete Imaging
1. Safety and Non-Invasiveness: Unlike X-rays, GPR doesn’t involve radiation, making it a safer option for both operators and the environment.
2. Efficiency: The speed of GPR is one of its key advantages, typically allowing for a complete scan of a small area in under 15 minutes.
3. Versatility: Whether you need to locate rebar before drilling or determine the depth of a slab, GPR is adaptable to various applications.
4. Cost-Effectiveness: Because it is quick and non-destructive, GPR reduces labor costs and minimizes the need for additional exploratory chipping.
5. High Accuracy: The detailed imagery provided by GPR ensures precise location of embedded objects, reducing the risk of structural damage during construction or renovation.
Incorporating concrete imaging into projects not only enhances safety but also ensures provides a process is both efficient and cost-effective. Before you cut, core, or drill into a concrete slab, reach out to GeoTek Services. Our number one goal is to protect your team and investment.
