Concrete GPR scanning before you cut or core

Accurate detection of rebar, post-tension cables, and embedded conduits for safe core-drilling, sawing, and anchoring in reinforced slabs and decks — with professional, date-stamped deliverables.

Who this is for

General contractors, facility engineers, and trade partners preparing penetrations in commercial slabs, tilt-up walls, and elevated decks across Northeast Ohio — especially when a miss would hit PT tendons, conduits, or structural steel.

How we work

Scanning is led by a CSDA GPR Certified principal (Concrete Sawing & Drilling Association), and Arcbound Logic LLC is an accredited, insured Ohio practice.

  1. Scope the scan grid from your drawings and proposed penetrations.
  2. Collect GPR data and interpret anomalies in context of slab construction.
  3. Mark safe zones and deliver a PDF report with GPS-tagged locations for records.

Starting rates

Concrete and structural GPR is typically billed at $175/hour; a two-hour minimum is often appropriate for meaningful coverage. Full pricing and insurance details sit alongside the rest of our GPR field-service standards.

FAQ

Does GPR replace X-ray?
GPR is often preferred for speed and area coverage; we recommend the right method for your slab type and spec.
Do you mark on-site?
Yes — we coordinate markings with your coring or trade schedule.

Methodology note: slab and structural GPR follows the same interpretive limits as utility work. See standards & further reading on our main GPR page (including ASTM D6432 context).
