GPR Scanning & Concrete Scanning Services in UAE

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scanning is a critical non-destructive investigation method widely used in construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects across the United Arab Emirates. It allows accurate detection of underground utilities, rebar, post-tension cables, voids, slab thickness, and buried structures before drilling, excavation, or construction works begin.

We provide professional GPR scanning and concrete scanning services across the UAE, helping contractors, developers, and engineering teams reduce construction risks, avoid costly damage, and ensure safe and efficient project execution.

What Is GPR Scanning?

GPR scanning uses high-frequency electromagnetic radar waves to identify subsurface objects without damaging concrete, soil, or asphalt. Radar signals reflect from buried elements, allowing specialists to determine their location, depth, and orientation.

Compared to destructive trial pits or concrete X-ray methods, GPR scanning is:

• non-invasive and non-destructive
• safe for occupied sites
• fast to deploy
• suitable for indoor and outdoor environments

These advantages make GPR scanning an essential tool for modern construction projects in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and throughout the UAE.

GPR Scanning Services We Provide in UAE

Underground Utility Detection & Mapping

One of the most critical applications of GPR scanning is locating underground utilities before excavation or trenching works.

We detect and map:

• water pipelines
• sewer lines
• gas pipelines
• electrical and telecom cables
• undocumented or unknown utilities

Accurate utility locating helps prevent service interruptions, safety incidents, and costly project delays.

Concrete Scanning Before Drilling and Cutting

Concrete scanning is essential before drilling, coring, anchoring, or slab cutting.

Our concrete scanning services allow:

• locating rebar in concrete
• detecting post-tension (PT) cables
• measuring slab thickness
• identifying voids and embedded objects

GPR scanning is widely used as a concrete X-ray alternative, as it does not require radiation permits and can be safely performed on active construction sites.

Pre-Excavation & Construction Risk Reduction

Before excavation works begin, GPR scanning helps identify hidden subsurface risks.

Typical use cases include:

• GPR before excavation
• scan before digging
• subsurface survey before construction
• ground scanning before trenching

These surveys are especially important in dense urban environments and infrastructure projects common across the UAE.

Buried Structures & Anomaly Detection

GPR scanning can also be used to locate:

• underground voids
• buried foundations and structures
• buried tanks
• underground obstructions

This is particularly valuable for renovation, redevelopment, and brownfield projects.

Soil, Pavement & Roadway GPR Surveys

For infrastructure and industrial developments, GPR scanning supports:

• pavement thickness surveys
• asphalt thickness measurement
• roadway subsurface investigation
• soil and ground scanning

These services are commonly used in road construction, airports, and large industrial facilities.

Advanced GPR Equipment & Integrated Technologies

We use professional-grade GPR scanners and advanced surveying equipment as part of a comprehensive subsurface investigation workflow. Our technical fleet allows us to deliver accurate results for complex construction and industrial projects.

Our equipment includes:

• modern GPR scanners for underground and concrete scanning
• Trimble X7 3D laser scanners
• Trimble SX10 scanning total stations
• FARO S120 laser scanners
• NavVis VLX 2 mobile mapping systems
• concrete strength meters and profometers

This combination enables integrated GPR, laser scanning, and BIM workflows, providing clients with engineering-ready data rather than raw scans.

GPR, Laser Scanning & BIM — One Integrated Workflow

Unlike standalone GPR contractors, we combine:

• GPR scanning for utilities and concrete structures
• 3D laser scanning for precise geometry capture
• CAD drawings and BIM models developed in Revit and Archicad

This integrated approach supports Scan to BIM, As-Built documentation, and utility mapping, making it especially valuable for complex construction, renovation, and industrial projects.

Industries We Serve

Our GPR scanning services are widely used in:

• construction and infrastructure
• oil and gas production and processing
• power engineering
• mechanical and industrial engineering
• mining and metallurgical industry
• chemical and food industry facilities

This experience allows us to work confidently on technically complex and high-risk sites.

GPR Scanning Services Across the UAE

We provide GPR scanning and concrete scanning services throughout the United Arab Emirates, including:

• Dubai
• Abu Dhabi
• Sharjah
• Ajman
• Ras Al Khaimah
• Fujairah
• Umm Al Quwain

This structure allows easy expansion into city-specific service pages without rewriting the core content.

GPR Scanning Cost in UAE

The cost of GPR scanning in the UAE depends on:

• size of the scanned area
• material type (soil, concrete, asphalt)
• required scanning depth
• complexity of utilities and structures
• site accessibility

To receive an accurate price, a project-specific assessment is required.
