Slab Thickness & Structural Mapping in British Columbia

Knowing a slab's real thickness and structure matters for loads, cuts and renovations — and coring to find out is destructive. GPR measures thickness and maps the structural makeup from the surface, non-destructively.

What Slab Thickness & Structural Mapping Covers

Slab thickness and structural mapping uses GPR to determine concrete thickness, identify slab-on-grade versus suspended construction, and map reinforcement — informing structural assessment, renovation and load decisions without test holes.

How It Works
  • GPR scan to read the slab's back-wall reflection
  • Calculate thickness from the signal
  • Identify construction type and reinforcement
  • Map results across the area
What It Detects
  • Concrete slab thickness
  • Slab-on-grade vs. suspended slab
  • Reinforcement layout
Best For

Renovation, load assessment and structural review needing slab data without coring.

For Pros & Contractors

Engineers and renovation contractors get thickness and structure non-destructively, avoiding test cores and the patching they require.

Slab Thickness & Structural Mapping — FAQ

Can GPR measure concrete thickness without drilling?

Yes. GPR reads the reflection from the back of the slab and calculates thickness from the signal timing — non-destructively and across an area — so there's no need to core test holes and patch them afterward.
