Rebar & Welded-Wire Locating in British Columbia
Before drilling an anchor or cutting an opening, you need to know where the reinforcing steel runs. Rebar and welded-wire locating maps the reinforcement grid, spacing and concrete cover so the work lands safely between bars and the structure is respected.
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.
Rebar locating uses GPR (and electromagnetic cover meters where suited) to map reinforcing bars, welded-wire mesh, grid spacing and cover depth in a concrete element — informing safe anchor, core and cut placement and structural review.
- Scan the area to detect the reinforcement
- Map bar spacing, direction and depth
- Mark clear zones for anchors, cores and cuts
- Report cover depth where needed
- Reinforcing bar grids and spacing
- Welded-wire mesh
- Concrete cover depth over the steel
- Conduit running with the reinforcement
Anchoring, drilling and cutting in reinforced concrete, and cover verification.
Trades and engineers map the rebar before anchoring or coring so fixings land between bars and the design capacity is preserved.

Rebar & Welded-Wire Locating — FAQ
Drilling through a reinforcing bar weakens both the anchor and the structure, and can fail inspection. Locating the rebar first lets the anchor land in clear concrete between bars, preserving the structural design and the fixing's capacity.
