Concrete Scanning
Our state of the art X-Raying and GPR machines use modern technology for void detection, concrete mapping and private utility locating. Eliminating the use of radiation — GPR allows for quick yet safe construction sites.
Cutting, coring, or anchoring into concrete without knowing what lies beneath is one of the most avoidable risks in construction. Severed post-tension cables, damaged conduits, or compromised rebar can cause structural failures, costly delays, and serious safety incidents. A-Core's GPR imaging team provides detailed subsurface information so contractors can plan precise openings, routes, and anchor locations with full confidence. Our scanning equipment works on slabs, walls, bridge decks, and CMU block — delivering accurate, non-destructive results quickly and with zero damage to the concrete being evaluated.
Our Specialties
CONCRETE SLAB SCANNING
Concrete slab scanning detects embedded items such as rebar, conduits, and post-tension cables beneath the surface. By identifying these elements in advance, it reduces the risk of accidental damage and costly delays. It also supports safer and more accurate construction work.
BRIDGE DECK & CMU SCANNING
Bridge Deck and CMU Scanning service identifies reinforcement, grout-filled cells, utilities, and other embedded obstructions within bridge decks and concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls. This information helps contractors plan cutting, coring, and drilling while reducing the risk of damaging structural components and maintaining the integrity of the structure.
DIGITAL X-RAYING
Digital X-Ray Imaging service uses digital radiography to locate and identify rebar, conduit, post-tension cables, voids, and other embedded objects within concrete. Digital X-ray imaging provides clear subsurface images in seconds and is commonly used before cutting, coring, or demolition, especially in congested areas or when scanning green or wet concrete where GPR may be less effective.
