Pre-Core & Pre-Cut Scanning in British Columbia
Every core and saw-cut into structural concrete is a gamble unless what's inside is known. Pre-core and pre-cut scanning removes the gamble: a quick GPR scan marks the embedded hazards so the penetration is placed safely.
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.
Pre-core/pre-cut scanning is the on-demand concrete scan performed immediately before a core drill or saw cut, mapping rebar, post-tension cables and conduit at the exact location so the operator proceeds with confidence.
- Scan the precise core or cut location
- Mark rebar, cables and conduit
- Identify a clear path or shift the location
- Clear the operator to proceed
- Rebar at the cut/core line
- Post-tension cables in the path
- Conduit and embedded pipe
The moment before coring or cutting structural concrete.
Coring and cutting crews fold a pre-core scan into their workflow so every penetration is cleared first — no struck cables, no surprises, no rework.

A single core or cut location is typically scanned and marked in minutes. Folding it into the coring workflow adds little time and removes the risk of striking a cable or conduit — far cheaper than the rework and danger a strike causes.
