Know what is in the concrete before anyone drills
Concrete hides a lot: reinforcement, post-tension tendons, electrical conduit and voids. Cutting or coring blind puts crews, structures and schedules at risk. Premium Concrete Technologies uses ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to locate what is embedded in the concrete and mark it on the surface before work begins.
Scanning is built into how we cut and core, and we also provide it as a standalone service for contractors and trades who need to drill, anchor or saw into existing concrete.
- Post-tension cables & tendons
- Rebar & wire mesh
- Electrical conduit & embedded utilities
- Voids in concrete
- Approximate slab thickness
Only one side of the slab or wall is needed.
No need to clear the area while we scan.
Findings are marked directly on the concrete.
The same crew can scan, mark and complete the work.
What we scan for
Post-Tension Cable Locating
Tendons located and marked so cores, cuts and anchors stay clear of them.
Rebar & Reinforcement Mapping
Reinforcement layout located so cuts, cores and anchors can be placed safely.
Conduit & Embedded Utilities
Embedded conduit and utilities found before they can be damaged.
Voids & Thickness
Voids and anomalies located and approximate slab thickness assessed.
Pre-Cut & Pre-Core Layout
Each planned cut and core location scanned and marked directly on the surface.
Below-Grade Utility Locating
GPR used to help locate buried utilities before trenching or excavation, alongside the required 811 locate.
Where scanning matters most
Anywhere a cut, core or anchor goes into existing concrete, scanning protects your crew, the structure and the schedule.

Scan
We scan each location with GPR and interpret what is embedded.
Mark
Findings are marked directly on the concrete surface.
Review
We walk your team through the findings so the work can proceed safely.
Concrete scanning questions
Have a question about your project? Call us or send your scope and drawings and we will walk through it with you.
Ground-penetrating radar sends a radar signal into the concrete and reads the reflections from objects inside it. It lets us locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduit and voids without damaging the concrete.
GPR can locate rebar and wire mesh, post-tension cables, electrical conduit, other embedded objects and voids, and it can help estimate slab thickness.
Many general contractors and owners require scanning before any cut or core in structural concrete, and we recommend it on every job. It is the simplest way to avoid striking something you cannot see.
Often, yes. Because we provide scanning, cutting and coring, one crew can scan, mark and complete the work, which keeps your schedule moving. Ask when you book.
We mark findings directly on the concrete surface at each location. If your project needs additional documentation, let us know when you request a quote.
For most pre-cut and pre-core work, yes. GPR needs access to only one side of the concrete, uses no radiation so the area does not have to be cleared, and results are marked on site. X-ray can provide more detailed imagery in some situations but requires access to both sides and a cleared area.
