Ground Penetrating Radar locates rebar, post-tension cables, conduit, and voids inside concrete before any cutting or drilling starts — so the crew knows what's there before the blade hits.
GPR scanning sends radar pulses through a concrete slab or wall and reads the reflected signals to produce a real-time image of what's embedded inside. The operator marks the surface with the locations of rebar, post-tension cables, conduit, electrical, plumbing, and voids before any cutting or drilling begins.
Hitting a post-tension cable during a core drill or flat saw cut is a serious structural event — it can injure crew, damage equipment, and create significant liability. GPR scanning before the job eliminates that risk and gives the GC and owner confidence that the scope was executed safely. DSI can mobilize a GPR scan prior to any cutting scope or as a standalone service.
