GPR Scanning in Jacksonville: A Smarter Way to Cut, Core, and Anchor Concrete
Jacksonville’s construction market is growing fast, and with that comes the need to work smarter and safer. Before you start cutting, coring, or anchoring into concrete, it’s critical to know exactly what’s inside. Striking a post-tension cable, conduit, or rebar isn’t just costly — it can create serious safety hazards, damage structures, and put your entire project at risk.
That’s where GPR scanning comes in. At Sterling Concrete Cutting, we use ground penetrating radar to help contractors, engineers, and developers across Jacksonville see what’s hidden in concrete, so you can move forward with confidence.
What Is GPR Scanning, and Why Use It?
GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) scanning lets you see inside concrete without cutting or damaging it. Using advanced equipment, we can locate post-tension cables, rebar, conduit, and voids — all in real time, right at your job site.
Some of the biggest benefits of GPR scanning before concrete work include:
Accuracy you can trust. Know exactly where embedded objects are before you drill, cut, or anchor.
Protect your team and your project. Avoid damage to critical components and keep everyone safe.
No surprises, fewer delays. Get clear information up front to prevent costly change orders and keep your schedule on track.
Non-destructive. We scan without harming the concrete, so your structure stays intact until you’re ready to work.
How GPR Scanning Has Helped Jacksonville Projects
Downtown High-Rise Retrofit
Our team scanned 15 floors of a Jacksonville high-rise before the contractor cored holes for plumbing risers. The GPR scan revealed post-tension cables that weren’t on the original drawings, helping the contractor avoid a major structural issue — and a major hit to the budget.
Office Tenant Improvement
A local GC needed to anchor heavy equipment into a mezzanine slab. We scanned the area and found hidden conduit that wasn’t marked on plans. They adjusted their anchor locations on the spot, avoiding damage and expensive rework.
Retail Expansion Project
During a retail center build-out, we scanned slab areas for saw cutting and trenching. Our scan allowed the team to cut safely around conduit and structural elements, so work stayed on schedule and operations weren’t disrupted.
