New to concrete scanning? If you've run GPR or subsurface locating anywhere — utility locating, geophysics, NDT, mining, or UXO — your eye transfers. We train the concrete.

Why this is worth your time

• Run electric core drills and back up the saw and core crews when scanning is light
• Drive truck & trailer, cube van, cargo van, or pickup to sites across city, rural, and industrial environments
• Keep the gear right — daily cleaning, preventative maintenance, basic repair, and condition reporting

• Clear written communication for work orders, job notes, and reports
