The launch of Xradar on Vancouver Island has been a long-awaited plan, and the timing couldn’t be better. Here’s why:

  1. Increased Density: The Victoria council has opened up to increased density and new developments in the downtown core and greater CRD.
  2. Population Growth: The projected population growth for the South Island over the next 20 years is an impressive 22%.
  3. Growing Demand: In the past year, Xradar has received numerous job requests on the island, requiring mobilization from the lower mainland. This indicates the emergence of a promising market.

“Our clients and customers in Victoria have often expressed their lack of confidence in the existing concrete scanning companies on the island. Scanning practices are not as widespread here, resulting in very few companies specializing in NDT. We aim to fill that void.” 

Nic Kruse, Division Manager at Xradar

With our new office opening on Vancouver Island, Xradar can now extend its innovative solutions to a wider range of clients in the region. We have the utmost confidence in our professionalism, precision, and reporting accuracy, which is why all our scans come with a guarantee that you will not encounter any embedded targets if our guidance is followed.

To celebrate this milestone, we are hosting a launch party on June 15th at 328 Taphouse Bar + Grill, conveniently located next to our Island office. We invite members of the construction and engineering community in the South Island to join us on this special occasion.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to discover how Xradar can enhance your engineering and construction projects. See you on June 15th!

    The Importance of Detecting Post-Tension Cables Before Drilling

    When it comes to concrete construction, few hazards carry as much risk as post-tension (PT) cables. These high-strength steel tendons are designed to reinforce and stabilize slabs, and they are tensioned with tens of thousands of pounds of force. Striking one while drilling or coring is a costly mistake.
