When underground services get congested, knowing what’s below the surface matters.

Our team recently completed a private utility locate where multiple electrical conduits, water service, and other utilities were located around a hydro service pole and well pump.

Using GPR, we traced the apparent paths of the services and field-marked their locations to help the project team understand what was below grade before excavation.

When several services are running through the same area, having a clearer picture of what’s underground can help reduce the risk of hitting an unknown line and prevent costly damage or delays.

Know what’s below before you dig.

Can we cut it?

That’s a question that should be answered before drilling, coring, or making a pe*******on into a post-tensioned concrete slab.

As AFT Construction demonstrates in this video, post-tensioned slabs require careful consideration before modifications are made. Accidentally cutting a post-tension tendon can result in a sudden release of stored energy, creating the potential for serious injury, structural damage, or even death.

That’s where GPR scanning comes in.

At CoreScanX, we scan concrete before renovations, remodels, pe*******ons, and other work to help identify post-tension tendons and reinforcing elements before the first cut is made.

One of the biggest fears when working with a post-tension slab is w...

What’s beneath the surface matters.

Concrete can contain reinforcing steel, post-tension tendons, conduits, and other embedded elements that aren't visible from the surface.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) provides a non-destructive way to investigate these subsurface conditions before drilling, coring, cutting, anchoring, or other concrete work begins.

The goal is simple: better information before the work starts.

Before the balcony screens were removed, our team identified and field-marked embedded reinforcing elements and post-tension tendons across the balcony areas.

We later returned once the screens were removed to complete additional scanning and verify the marked locations.

This video gives a quick look at the markings on both the floor and ceiling from the initial scanning.

GPR scanning helps turn subsurface information into clear, usable markings before drilling, coring, cutting, anchoring, or other concrete work begins.

What’s beneath the concrete isn’t always visible from the surface.

Across Southwest Florida, concrete structures can contain reinforcing steel, post-tension cables, conduits, and other embedded elements that aren't visible before work begins.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) provides a non-destructive way to investigate what's beneath the surface before drilling, coring, cutting, or anchoring.

Understanding what's inside the concrete before work begins can help project teams make more informed decisions and avoid unexpected conditions.

A quick visual explanation of post-tension cables 👇

Sharing this helpful video from Vaughn Construction explaining how post-tension cables are incorporated into concrete slabs and why understanding their location is important before concrete work begins.

Post-tensioned structures are common throughout Florida, and the tendons embedded within the concrete aren't visible from the surface. Before drilling, coring, cutting, or anchoring, knowing where those tendons are located can be critical.

At CoreScanX, we use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to help identify and map embedded post-tension tendons and other structural elements before concrete work begins.

A great visual reminder of why what's beneath the surface matters.

When underground services get congested, knowing what’s below the surface matters.

Our team recently completed a private utility locate in Venice, FL, where multiple electrical conduits, water service, and other utilities were located around a hydro service pole and well pump.

Using GPR, we traced the apparent paths of the services and field-marked their locations to help the project team understand what was below grade before excavation.

When several services are running through the same area, accurate locating can help reduce the risk of hitting an unknown line and provide a clearer picture of where to safely dig.

From radar to reality.

The first image shows what post-tension tendons look like on a GPR scan. The second shows those same tendons field-marked on the concrete.

These markings help contractors understand where embedded post-tension cables are located before drilling, coring, anchoring, or other concrete work begins.

Accurate data. Clear markings. Better-informed decisions.

What lies beneath the surface?

This 3D Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) image shows embedded reinforcing elements visualized beneath a concrete slab.

Technology like this helps transform hidden structural information into a clearer picture before drilling, cutting, or coring begins.

Every project is unique, but the goal is always the same: provide accurate information that helps project teams make informed decisions.

What you see on the surface is only part of the story.

Concrete can conceal reinforcing steel, post-tension tendons, conduit, and other embedded elements that aren't visible from above.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) helps turn uncertainty into understanding, giving project teams the information they need before drilling, coring, cutting, anchoring, or making other modifications to concrete.
