GPR Concrete Scanning in Orlando & Central Florida

Concrete Scanning Before Cutting and Core Drilling

Sterling Concrete Cutting provides professional GPR concrete scanning throughout Orlando, Central Florida and surrounding markets. Our technicians locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduits and other embedded objects before core drilling, slab sawing or wall cutting, helping contractors reduce strike risks, delays and costly damage.

How GPR Concrete Scanning Works

GPR concrete scanning uses high-frequency electromagnetic signals to identify changes and objects within concrete slabs, walls and structural elements. A technician moves the scanner across the accessible surface and interprets the reflected signals in real time to estimate the location and direction of rebar, post-tension cables, conduits and other detectable embedded objects.

What GPR Concrete Scanning Can Locate

• Reinforcing steel and welded wire mesh

• Post-tension cables

• Electrical conduits

• Plumbing and utility lines

• Embedded objects and anomalies

• Slab thickness changes and structural features

• Potentially safer locations for drilling and saw cutting

Why Contractors Choose Sterling for GPR Concrete Scanning

• Real-time surface markings at the scan location

• Coordination with core drilling, slab sawing and wall cutting

• Commercial construction experience

• Responsive scheduling throughout Orlando and Central Florida

• One contractor for scanning, cutting, removal and pourback

How Sterling Performs GPR Concrete Scanning

• Review the Work Area: We discuss the proposed drilling, cutting or demolition locations and inspect the accessible concrete surface.

• Scan the Concrete: Our technician scans the designated area in multiple directions to identify potential embedded objects and anomalies.

• Interpret the Results: Scan data is reviewed in real time to estimate the location and direction of rebar, post-tension cables, conduits and other detectable objects.

• Mark the Surface: Detected objects are marked directly on the concrete so the contractor can select better-informed cutting or drilling locations.

  GPR scanning reduces risk but cannot guarantee detection of every embedded object. Results can be affected by slab conditions, depth, congestion, surface access and material composition.

Where GPR Concrete Scanning Is Used

GPR concrete scanning supports commercial construction, renovations and selective demolition by helping identify embedded objects before concrete is cut, drilled or removed.

• Plumbing, electrical and mechanical penetrations

• Commercial tenant improvements

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities

• Schools and university buildings

• Industrial and manufacturing facilities

• Parking garages and elevated decks

• Structural renovations and selective demolition

• Slab trenching, core drilling and wall openings
