Before you drill or cut, Americut’s GPR concrete scanning identifies reinforcing steel, post‑tension tendons, conduits, and other embedments in walls, slabs, ceilings, and structural members, so you can proceed safely and protect the structure.
Concrete Structural Scanning (GPR), Rebar, PT Cable, and Conduit Locating
What Is GPR Concrete Scanning?
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non‑destructive technology that uses radar pulses to image inside concrete. It helps locate both metallic and non-metallic targets and can assess cover and thickness information, making it ideal for clearing areas before core drilling or saw cutting.
When to Use Concrete Structural Scanning (GPR)
- Pre‑cut / pre‑core clearance to reduce risk and change orders.
- As‑built verification of rebar patterns, PT cable paths, and conduit layout in slabs, walls, and ceilings.
- Thickness checks and cover estimates to support engineering decisions and patch‑back planning.
- Occupied or sensitive facilities where non‑destructive methods are required
Why Choose Americut for GPR Concrete Scanning
- Built for cutting and coring workflows: We scan before penetrations to help
- Actionable field marks: We identify scan results at the work area and coordinate with our core drilling or sawing crews for a seamless handoff.
- Thorough documentation options: On request, we can summarize findings for approval and record-keeping purposes.
- Local crews, rapid mobilization: Offices in Cleveland, OH; Tampa (Largo), FL; Jacksonville, FL; and Fort Myers, FL cover projects in Ohio and Florida.
GPR Capabilities — Rebar, Post‑Tension, Conduit, and Thickness Mapping
- Targets located: Rebar, PT cables, electrical/telecom conduits, and other embedments in concrete members.
- Elements scanned: Walls, slabs, ceilings, and entire structures (elevated or on grade).
- Additional insights: Slab/overlay thickness and cover estimates to assist spec compliance and patch‑back.

Slab / Flat Sawing FAQs for Contractors and Municipalities
What can GPR locate in concrete?
GPR helps locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduits (both metallic and some non-metallic), and other embedments within concrete elements.
Why scan before core drilling or saw cutting?
Scanning reduces the chance of hitting reinforcement or utilities and helps preserve structural integrity when making penetrations or openings.
Can you estimate depth/cover with GPR?
Yes, GPR can provide cover and thickness estimates; technicians calibrate depth using known thickness or ground truth when available.
Is GPR non‑destructive?
Yes, GPR is a non-destructive imaging method suitable for occupied facilities and active job sites.
Do you scan walls, slabs, and ceilings?
Yes, Americut scans concrete walls, slabs, ceilings, and entire structures to clear work areas.
What deliverables do we receive?
We mark findings on the surface at the work area and can provide summary documentation on request to support approvals and record‑keeping.
How do you price GPR scanning?
Pricing depends on scan area, complexity, access, and documentation needs. Share your drawings and schedule for a tailored quote.
Can you scan in tight or sensitive areas (hospitals, schools)?
Yes, GPR is well‑suited for occupied spaces; we coordinate containment and work windows as needed.
Do you also perform the cutting or coring after scanning?
Yes, Americut provides core drilling, wall/flat sawing, and wire sawing, and can schedule these immediately after scan clearance.
Where do you offer GPR concrete scanning?
Across Northeast Ohio and Central/Southwest Florida from our Cleveland, Tampa (Largo), Jacksonville, and Fort Myers offices.
