Cutting into concrete without knowing what is inside is one of the fastest ways to turn a straightforward project into an expensive problem. A single strike on a post-tension cable or an unmarked conduit can halt work, compromise the structure, and leave your crew in a difficult position. Contractors and project managers searching for “concrete scanning services near me” in the Dallas area turn to C&M Subsurface for ground penetrating radar (GPR) scanning that delivers accurate, real-time data before any work begins.
Ground penetrating radar works by sending radar signals into the surface of a concrete slab and recording how those signals reflect off embedded objects. Material density determines how signals reflect back, which is how our equipment distinguishes rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and voids from one another. The data is processed in real time on site, so your team has what it needs to move forward the same day without waiting on lab results or outside analysis.
Unlike X-ray, GPR concrete scanning services are non-radioactive, require no site shutdowns, and can be used on active job sites without radiation protocols or safety clearances. Our concrete scanning solutions cover horizontal and vertical surfaces, including slabs, walls, columns, and ceilings. We provide on-site surface markings, written reports, or both, depending on what your project requires.
We locate individual rebar within the slab and provide accurate depth, spacing, and layout information. Our professional rebar scanning services deliver a complete picture of the reinforcement grid before any drilling or cutting begins.
Post-tension cables carry significant load, and striking one during a core drill or saw cut can compromise the structural integrity of the entire slab. We identify PT cable locations and depths before any penetration is made.
Electrical and communication conduits are often embedded within or directly below concrete slabs. We locate these features alongside reinforcement so your team has a complete picture of what is inside the slab before work starts.
Voids beneath or within concrete can indicate structural deterioration and create serious safety risks if left undetected. GPR scanning identifies these anomalies so they can be addressed before they become a larger problem on site.
Striking rebar or a post-tension cable during a core drill is one of the most preventable mistakes on a job site. Contractors running MEP installations, adding penetrations for HVAC systems, or cutting for new utility runs all depend on scanning to identify exactly where reinforcement is located before any penetration is made.
Renovation projects on existing concrete structures often come with unknowns, particularly in older commercial buildings, parking structures, and industrial facilities. Scanning before any cutting or demolition work gives your team a clear view of the reinforcement layout and reduces the risk of damage during the process.
Anchor installations require precise placement. This is common in steel erection, equipment mounting, and facade attachment work. Scanning confirms clear locations ahead of time, reducing the risk of hitting reinforcement and compromising both the anchor and the surrounding concrete.
Even on new builds, scanning can verify that embedded features were placed as designed. It is a straightforward step that protects the project and reduces liability before work progresses further.
C&M Subsurface is a Texas-based, Aggie-owned company built on fast response times, accurate results, and straightforward communication. We serve the Dallas-Fort Worth metro with competitive scheduling and a process designed to work around your project timeline, not the other way around.
From the initial quote to the final deliverable, the process is simple. Share your project details and we will provide a clear proposal covering scope and timeline. Once approved, we coordinate site access and schedule around your needs. On site, we scan the concrete, verify findings, and deliver markings, a written report, or both based on what your project actually calls for. Contact C&M Subsurface to discuss your project and get a clear, upfront proposal.
