Frequently Asked Questions

To help you understand the importance of including concrete scanning in your upcoming construction or remodeling project, FORTIS SCANNING has compiled the following FAQ for your reference.

Concrete scanning is a non-invasive inspection technique using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect embedded objects in concrete slabs or columns before coring or drilling.

A concrete scan is critical to job site safety and can locate and identify objects within the concrete. This is an essential step in the building process to prevent injury, damage, and additional costs during the building.

Before coring, drilling, or cutting through a concrete structure, a concrete scan helps identify the location and depth of embedded objects with high-resolution GPR.

If you plan on cutting, coring, or drilling existing concrete, you need a concrete scan during construction. Using GPR, our team can scan the concrete safely to detect what’s inside.
