GPR Scanning
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Scanning in Cambridge & Southwestern Ontario
When accuracy matters, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) gives you the insight you need before construction or excavation begins.
At Complete Locating Services Inc., we use advanced GPR systems to detect and map buried utilities, conduits, voids, and concrete reinforcement safely, without breaking ground.
Serving Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, and surrounding areas, our scans provide the detail contractors and engineers rely on to plan safely and precisely.
GPR Scanning
What Is Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)?
GPR is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technology that sends radar pulses into the ground or concrete to reveal what’s hidden below.
It identifies:
- Metallic and non-metallic utilities (gas, water, electrical, fiber) -
- Reinforcing steel (rebar, post-tension cables) -
- Voids, conduits, and buried obstructions -
- Changes in material thickness or composition -
Unlike traditional digging or x-rays, GPR scanning is safe, fast, and leaves no surface damage.
Why GPR
Advantages of Using GPR
Common use cases:
- Utility Mapping: Identify unknown utilities or confirm marked lines.
- Concrete Scanning: Locate rebar, conduit, and post-tension cables before coring or cutting.
- Subsurface Analysis: Detect voids, tanks, or debris beneath soil or pavement.
- Structural Assessment: Verify concrete thickness and slab conditions.
- Engineering Surveys: Support CAD drawings and construction documentation.

The Difference
GPR Scanning vs Concrete X-Ray
GPR scanning is now the industry standard, faster, safer, and more versatile than traditional X-ray.
GPR Scanning
- Non-radiation, safe for occupied buildings
- Provides immediate results
- Detects metallic & non-metallic objects
- Works on one side of slab
Concrete X-Ray
- Requires evacuation and safety zones
- Requires film processing and delays
- Primarily detects metallic objects
- Requires access to both sides of slab
