Understand the scope
We review the proposed work, access, drawings and known site constraints before scanning begins.
All services
NON-DESTRUCTIVE GPR
Concrete Scanning
See what is inside concrete before cutting, coring or drilling—with real-time GPR findings and practical guidance for the work ahead.
THE SERVICE
Clear information.
Practical execution.
Concrete can conceal reinforcement, post-tension cables, live conduits, structural steel and voids. BWize uses non-destructive Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to build a clearer picture before penetrations or alterations begin.
Our technicians combine modern scanning equipment with on-site interpretation. The result is practical information your construction, engineering or facilities team can use to choose safer locations, reduce uncertainty and keep work moving.
From a single proposed penetration to staged scanning across a complex facility, we tailor the grid, marking and reporting to the decision your team needs to make.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Questions about
concrete scanning.
Scope, access and site conditions can change the right approach. These answers are a useful starting point before we review your project.
What can concrete GPR scanning locate?
GPR can help identify reinforcement, post-tension cables, conduits, changes in slab thickness and possible voids. Results depend on material, depth, congestion, access and site conditions, so we explain the confidence and limitations of each scan.
Should scanning happen before every cut or core?
Scanning is strongly recommended wherever hidden reinforcement or services could be affected. It gives the cutting or drilling team better information before committing to a penetration.
Can BWize provide a concrete scan report?
Yes. Depending on the scope, findings can be delivered through surface markings, photographs, marked-up plans or a written report. Confirm the required format when booking so it can be built into the job.
