Concrete Scanning in Nelson, BC
Before anyone cuts, cores, drills or anchors into concrete in Nelson, GPR scanning maps what's inside the slab or wall — rebar, post-tension cables, conduit and voids — so the work is safe and the structure is protected.
Leaks.ca is the educational leak detection hub and service-support division of Leak.ca, helping BC property owners understand leak risks and connect with professional detection services when needed.
Nelson's construction is mostly slab-on-grade, tilt-up commercial and low- to mid-rise reinforced concrete, with parkades and suspended slabs on its larger buildings. Concrete scanning in Nelson is most often needed before drilling, cutting, anchoring and coring on slabs, walls and commercial floors — locating rebar, conduit and any post-tension before the work.
Concrete Scanning Services in Nelson
Image the inside of a slab or wall — reinforcement, embeds and voids — from one side, in real time.
Map the reinforcement grid and cover so penetrations and anchors land safely between bars.
Locate tensioned cables precisely — striking one is a serious safety and structural event.
Find the electrical conduit, pipe and embeds in a slab before a core severs a live service.
Measure concrete thickness non-destructively, without coring test holes to check.
Find the voids, delamination and loss of support that signal deterioration or washout.
A fast scan before every core and saw-cut so the blade never finds a cable or conduit.
Scan parkade and post-tensioned suspended slabs — the highest-risk concrete in any building.
Image inside concrete walls and floor slabs before drilling, cutting or anchoring.
Image structural concrete and the ground beneath it to inform engineering and excavation.
Coring/cutting crews, structural engineers, GCs and restoration contractors in Nelson scan concrete before every penetration.

Yes. GPR images the inside of a slab or wall from one side, in real time, with no ionizing radiation — so a Nelson site keeps operating while the scan locates rebar, post-tension cables, conduit and voids before any cut or core.
