Concrete Scanning in Richmond, BC
Before anyone cuts, cores, drills or anchors into concrete in Richmond, 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.
Richmond carries a dense stock of post-tensioned concrete high-rises and suspended parkade slabs, alongside reinforced commercial and institutional construction. That makes pre-penetration scanning — post-tension cable mapping, rebar locating and parkade slab scanning before any core or cut — a constant need across Richmond's towers, parkades and tenant fit-outs.

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.

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 structural concrete and the ground beneath it to inform engineering and excavation.
Coring/cutting crews, structural engineers, GCs and restoration contractors in Richmond scan concrete before every penetration.
