SERVICE OVERVIEW

Xradar™ Concrete Scanning is the Engineering Standard for Concrete Imaging, and accuracy is guaranteed. It allows you to prevent injuries and save time, money and headaches by choosing to locate and map the position of Post-Tension cables, voids, rebar and electrical conduits embedded in concrete.

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.

Learn About Xradar™

Benefits

We can detect and map anything embedded in concrete, including the following

Post-tensioned cables

Water and radiant heating lines

Foundations & Voids within and below the concrete slab

Electrical conduits (plastic & metallic)

Steel reinforcement (rebar), including spacing, diameter and depth

Any other object embedded in concrete

Xradar™ allows you to view many objects that remain hidden through conventional GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) scanning. Xradar can “see” through wire mesh, distinguish between electrical conduits, radiant heating lines, P.T cables and steel reinforcement (rebar). This service is unique and ideal for complex concrete slabs. Like GPR, it is also far more advanced than Concrete X-Ray, providing the accuracy of X-Ray with the safety and efficiency of GPR.

Scanning Concrete to Cut or Drill

Xradar™ eliminates the accidental cutting and drilling through embedded objects and the high costs required for their repair if cut or damaged. It is the safest and most cost effective way to locating objects in concrete structures prior to cutting, coring or drilling.

This service is also faster and safer than conventional radiography (Concrete X-Ray) and only single-sided access is needed. Concrete Scanning with Xradar™ is highly recommended before you cut, core or drill.

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.
