Structural & Subsurface Imaging in British Columbia
Beyond a single penetration, engineers and contractors often need a broader picture — the makeup of a structural element, or what lies in the ground beneath a slab. Structural and subsurface imaging builds that picture non-destructively.
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.
Structural and subsurface imaging uses GPR to image structural concrete (reinforcement, thickness, anomalies) and the ground below grade (utilities, voids, layers) to inform structural assessment, renovation and pre-excavation planning.
- Survey the element or ground with GPR
- Image reinforcement, anomalies or subsurface features
- Map findings for engineering or excavation
- Combine with locating where utilities are involved
- Structural reinforcement and anomalies
- Slab thickness and construction
- Subsurface utilities and voids below grade
- Ground layers before excavation
Structural assessment, renovation planning and pre-excavation imaging.
Structural engineers and GCs use subsurface imaging to assess elements and clear ground before design and excavation.

Structural & Subsurface Imaging — FAQ
Concrete scanning images what's inside a structural element — rebar, post-tension, conduit. Subsurface imaging extends that to the ground below grade — utilities, voids and layers. Both use GPR and are often combined on a project to inform structural review and excavation.
