How we can help
GPR scanning around proposed core holes and service penetrations
Scanning along planned plumbing and electrical trench routes
Assessment of embedded features before concrete cutting and selective demolition
Commercial and industrial projects coordinated with plumbers, electricians and contractors
Before we quote
Planning your project
Tell us the scan area, slab access, planned penetrations and what drawings are available. Scanning findings depend on site conditions; review results before cutting.
Plan your scanning request
Use the scanning planning checklist to prepare your drawings, scan area and site information.

The work, explained
Concrete scanning before drilling, cutting or demolition
A proposed opening or trench needs to be considered alongside what may be embedded in the concrete. Stone Concrete Cutting & Coring Inc. provides GPR concrete scanning in Edmonton and surrounding areas to help contractors plan the work before concrete is disturbed. Tell dispatch whether you need scanning on its own or coordination with coring, sawing and concrete removal.
GPR scanning for plumbers and electricians
For a new plumbing line, electrical conduit or mechanical opening, share the proposed route and penetration layout. Scanning can help inform the choice of cutting or coring locations around indications of reinforcement, conduits and other embedded features. Discuss the proposed work with the site team and review findings before final locations are selected.
Core holes, floor trenches and commercial alterations
Core drilling, floor sawing and selective concrete removal have different work areas. Identify the complete proposed opening or trench, rather than only the first cut. Tell us whether the work is in an occupied commercial building, an industrial facility or another site with access or scheduling restrictions. This helps define the scanning area and coordinate the next trade.
Rebar, conduits and post-tension cable indications
GPR uses radar responses to investigate features within concrete. Reinforcement, conduits and post-tension cables can affect where work is planned. Radar findings require interpretation: visibility and depth estimates depend on the concrete, target material, access and site conditions. A scan does not guarantee detection of every feature or establish that a proposed cut is structurally acceptable.
Concrete scanning and underground utility locating
This service page covers scanning concrete for proposed cutting, drilling and alterations. Buried utility locating, excavation clearances, engineering and site approvals are separate requirements. Tell dispatch what you are trying to locate and where; the appropriate scope must be confirmed before work is booked.
What to include in a scanning quote
Send the Edmonton-area project address, a marked-up drawing or photo of the scan area, proposed hole sizes or trench dimensions, slab or wall access, and thickness if known. Include known services, available structural drawings, site contact, working hours and your intended schedule. If details are still being developed, explain the proposed work and the questions you need help planning.
Can I request scanning without booking cutting or coring?
Yes. Choose GPR scanning on the Cutting & Coring quote form and describe the scanning scope. Tell dispatch if another contractor will perform the cutting or drilling so project responsibilities can be discussed.
Should concrete be scanned before core drilling?
Discuss scanning when planning holes or cuts where reinforcement, conduits, post-tension cables or other embedded features may be present. Review the findings together with drawings, structural requirements and site conditions before work proceeds.
Does scanning guarantee a safe place to cut?
No. GPR findings are one input to planning. Detection has limitations, and the responsible site team must review the results alongside service information, structural requirements and required approvals.
How much does concrete scanning cost in Edmonton?
Pricing depends on the area, access, proposed work, site conditions and scheduling. Send drawings or photos and describe the scope for a project-specific quote.
Can scanning, cutting and coring be coordinated?
Yes. Include the complete project scope and schedule in your inquiry. Cutting & Coring handles scanning, cutting and coring; if a replacement pour is also needed, ask about the separate Placing & Finishing scope.
