SERVICE OVERVIEW

Our Pre-Design service provides architects, designers, and engineers with pre-pour layouts of rebar and conduits. This facilitates the conflict free positioning of core hole locations.

Methods & Technology

Xradar™ Enhanced Concrete Scanning

Xradar™ is an advanced imaging capability, utilizing GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) technology that provides high-resolution subsurface imaging for safe, precise concrete scanning and utility detection.

Benefits

Ensuring Precision
with Pre-Design Scan

Multiple report outputs including AutoCAD, Revit and 3D virtual walkthrough

Highly detailed as-built drawings that include the location of all subsurface infrastructure

Create design drawings with zero conflicts

Avoid redesign costs and delays; typically $3.50 saving for every $1 spent

Explore location remotely

A space is scanned prior to the interior design phase using Xradar™, along with 3D laser scanning. A detailed AutoCAD drawing is then created, including the locations of all the subsurface infrastructure. These can be utilised by engineers or architects to create design drawings with zero conflicts.


For tenant improvement projects, Xradar™ Pre-Design Concrete Scanning has a proven record, effective at mitigating risk and adding value to projects. It’s smart space planning that enables the design team to formulate ideas and evaluate design concepts without the requirement to revisit down the line.

Virtual Site Walkthrough

A Pre-Design virtual site walkthrough allows for smart space planning, enabling the design team to formulate ideas and evaluate design concepts without the requirement to revisit sites. This means that costs are kept down and teams can design the space in the most efficient way.

Walkthroughs can be used by architects, interior designers, engineers, and across the construction industry. Capturing the project at each stage means that in-slabs targets can be documented during pre-pour, and overlaid on the finished site.

2D photography and 3D data from sites is also stitched together to create complete, immersive 3D models that can be annotated, shared and exported to programs such as Autodesk ReCap or Revit.

What people say

  • It is my personal opinion that Xradar may be the best in the industry in the Vancouver Area. 

    On the BTC project they have executed the scans with great accuracy. While coring or cutting using the  information that they provided, EllisDon has happily had a 100% success rate in avoiding potential  hazards. Their team arrives on time, performs the work requested and leaves the area in a clean  professional state upon completion.  

    I have and will continue to recommend Xradar to all my construction contacts and  acquaintances.

    Brent Hilliard 
    Superintendent, 
    EllisDon Corp.

  • Xradar has consistently proven to be a reliable and collaborative partner across multiple complex projects, particularly where structural investigations and scanning were critical to maintaining schedule and reducing risk.

    Bennett Stableforth 
    Project Manager
    PCL Constructors Canada

  • I was very impressed with the level of professionalism that Xradar brought with their scanning and coring work.

    The scans are extremely detailed and easy to read. Combine that with written reports and included photos, and I certainly wouldn’t settle for anything less when dealing with post tension slab cutting and coring.

    Jason Hui
    Site Superintendent, 
    HALSE-MARTIN CONSTRUCTION Co. Ltd.

  • Over the past year, FWD Construction has partnered with Xradar on more than ten sites across Calgary. We consistently received exceptional service and relied on their incredibly accurate reports. The ability to receive reports quickly, often on the same day, is a crucial part of our process.

    Xradar is our preferred choice, particularly because of their specialization in post-tensioned cables. Their on-site scans are thorough, featuring clear, color-coded markings of all relevant details on the slab. Furthermore, their digital reports are a concise summary for our records.

    I highly recommend Xradar to others, especially for projects involving post-tensioned slabs, and I will certainly be utilizing their services for all our future needs.

  • Executive Group Development was constructing an upscale, 11-story luxury hotel in the new  Exchange Tower in Vancouver in which the company was complying with the existing LEED Platinum standards and included dealing with both a heritage and a new post-tension structure.  

    Xradar performed their scanning and successfully cored over 600 holes through both old and new slabs with no negative impact and communicated with us every step of the  way in a professional manner

    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.
