Concrete Scanning & Imaging in Seattle, Tacoma & Western Washington

Ground Penetrating Radar detects and visualizes rebar, electrical conduits, post-tension cables, embedded utilities and voids within concrete structures. It also reads rebar pattern and concrete thickness, information engineers use to assess structures and plan work to the facility owner’s spec. Results are marked on the surface and delivered with locations and depths in a written report.

No. GPR is fully non-destructive and non-invasive. Radar pulses pass through the concrete and reflect off embedded objects; nothing is drilled, cut or disturbed to produce the image. Your structure’s integrity is preserved while you get an accurate picture of what’s inside it, which also makes scanning completely safe to perform in occupied and operating buildings.

Yes. And that’s the advantage of calling Siler’s. The same company that scans your slab handles the flat sawing, wall sawing and core drilling afterward, so nothing is lost between the scan report and the blade. One call, one crew, one accountable contractor.

That’s exactly what it’s for. By identifying the precise location of conduits, rebar, post-tension cables and other elements within the concrete, scanning lets crews avoid costly and dangerous mistakes during construction, and it keeps the utilities themselves intact. The careful, non-destructive approach is what allows saw cutting, core drilling and trenching operations to proceed safely around live services.

GPR imaging reveals the rebar pattern, the thickness of the concrete and other structural components without opening the slab up. Engineers use that data to evaluate existing structures, verify as-built conditions and plan modifications safely to the spec of the facility owner, with our comprehensive reports documenting every detail considered in the planning process.

Dedication to accurate, detailed imaging, and the experience to back it up. Our team’s decades of concrete saw cutting and core drilling work mean we know exactly what a cutting crew needs from a scan, our technicians are trained to interpret results correctly on complex projects, and we constantly improve our methods and equipment. We take pride in the quality of the work, and it shows in the results our clients plan around.
