Concrete Scanning in Kansas City
Locate rebar, post-tension cables, and conduit before you cut or core — protecting your crew, your schedule, and your scope.
What We Locate Inside Your Concrete
Rebar
Placement, spacing, and depth of cover.
Post-Tension Cables
Critical to identify before any cut or core.
Electrical Conduit
Avoid expensive cuts and downtime.
Plumbing Lines
Locate pipes and drains hidden in slab.
Voids in Slab
Identify hollow zones before pouring or coring.
Slab Thickness
Measure thickness and structural depth.
Why Kansas City Contractors Scan Before They Cut
Avoid catastrophic strikes
A nicked PT cable can kill someone. A cut conduit shuts down the building. Pre-scanning prevents both.
Protect your schedule
In-field surprises mean change orders, delays, and damaged bits. Pre-scan data lets you plan once.
Defensible documentation
Get a marked surface and a digital report. If anything goes sideways later, you've got a record.

Concrete Scanning FAQs
How quickly can you get to my site?
Same-day or next-day scheduling is common across the KC metro. Call early in the day to confirm.
What does concrete scanning cost?
Most jobs price by location count, slab area, and travel. Call 913-879-2200 with your specifics for a no-pressure quote.
Do you scan walls and ceilings or just floors?
Floors, walls, ceilings, decks — anywhere there's concrete and a reason to know what's inside it.
What's the difference between GPR and X-ray for concrete?
Both image inside concrete. GPR is faster, requires no evacuation of the area, and works one-sided (you only need access to one face of the slab). X-ray requires both sides and clearing personnel from the area.
Do you scan before core drilling?
Yes — pre-core-drill scanning is one of our most common jobs. We mark exactly where it's safe to core.
Are you certified?
Yes. Every Echo GPR technician is OSHA-30 certified and a CSDA-Certified GPR Operator.
