The Underground Detective presents GPR scans of concrete structures clearly for real-time and in-the-box 2D or 3D data acquisition

Reduce Personal Injury & Risk

With the unstoppable team of The Underground Detective, you will finally be able to avoid damaging conduits, wasted time and money by scanning directly into the concrete before you saw or core drill.

Manage The Risk of Damage to Utilities

We use the most flexible and comprehensive concrete scanning systems on the market. With The Underground Detective’s technology, you will finally be able to avoid wasted time and money by scanning directly into the concrete before you saw or core drill.

Structural Integrity

Our equipment provides accurate inspection of concrete structures such as floors, walls, slabs, and bridge decks.

WE CAN LOCATE UTILITIES INDOORS AND UNDER FLOORS

Unlike the 811 system, Utility Locator, LLC can locate existing utilities inside a building. Whether you need to core though multiple floors, or need to saw cut a trench in the basement / ground floor level, our team of skilled utility locators can detect and mark-out utilities and structural members embedded in and below concrete walls, floors, and columns. We can even locate sanitary sewer lines under the concrete floor for your future tie-in. Call us today for a free quote at 888-272-6065.

FAQ

How does concrete imaging radar work?

Concrete imaging radar works by transmitting a radio frequency signal into the concrete surface. When the signal is reflected off concrete and other embedded members, a visual response is registered on the monitor, allowing technicians to mark the location of the observation in real time.

Do you use x-ray to scan and image concrete surfaces?

Commonly called “Floor X-Ray,” or “Concrete X-Rays,” our concrete imaging radar works much like our standard Ground Penetrating Radar, and doesn’t use the hazardous radiation found with x-ray imaging systems. Concrete imaging radar utilizes the same GPR technology to detect conflicts such as reinforcement, conduit, cables, piping, post tension cables, and more in concrete floors, slabs, walls, columns, and other surfaces.

How deep can you locate utilities under a floor?

Concrete imaging radar is effective to image utilities and other commodities embedded within concrete to a depth of about 24 inches. Other technologies are utilized to successfully detect and mark other utilities buried deep below the slab.

Can you find rebar or other reinforcement in concrete?

Yes! Our concrete scanning & imaging services are designed to provide information about conduit, rebar, and other reinforcement embedded within concrete walls, floors, slabs, and columns.

How much room do you need to scan the floor?

When scanning core holes, we will typically need a minimum of 2’x2′ area around the core location. This will allow us to preform a grid scan to make sure we have a clean area laid out for the work to continue.
