Services
Radiographic Testing
Radiographic Testing uses gamma radiation to locate embedded items in concrete slabs up to 24 inches thick. Our digital CCD technology provides real-time imaging with permanent records, ensuring safe penetration by identifying post-tension cables and other hidden structures. This service includes site preparation guidance and a limited damage-free warranty.
Ground Penetrating Radar
High-definition GPR employs electromagnetic pulses to map rebar grids and detect conflicts in concrete structures. Our 2D line scanning technology offers accurate, non-invasive assessments suitable for occupied buildings. Technicians provide on-site layout markings and 24-hour reporting while maintaining industry-standard safety protocols.
Utility Locating
Our utility locating combines RD7000 system technology with GatorCam pipeline inspection to identify buried piping and cables. Using passive, induction, and direct trace methods, we accurately map electrical conduits, sewer lines, and data cables. This service integrates with structural imaging to prevent accidental damage during construction projects.
Pipeline Inspection
High-definition CCTV pipeline inspections use push-rod cameras to evaluate sewer systems and utility conduits. Our GatorCam system provides real-time video analysis of pipe conditions, blockages, and structural integrity. This non-destructive method supports maintenance planning and complements our subsurface locating services.
Concrete Cutting
Integrated concrete cutting services utilize imaging data to ensure safe slab penetrations. Our team coordinates with structural assessments to avoid embedded hazards while maintaining project timelines. This service includes post-cutting documentation and compliance with all safety regulations for commercial and government projects.

Questions
What technologies do you use for concrete imaging?
We use Digital Radiography (X-Ray) and High Definition Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect embedded objects in concrete structures.
How do GPR and X-Ray imaging differ?
GPR provides real-time subsurface mapping for slabs up to 20 inches thick, while X-Ray imaging offers precise diagnostics for thicker concrete using gamma radiation.
Which service is right for my project?
GPR suits occupied buildings and thinner slabs. X-Ray is required for concrete over 10 inches thick or when absolute precision is critical.
How do I prepare for radiographic testing?
Ensure all non-essential personnel vacate the site, provide concrete thickness details, and mark penetration centers using our recommended drill-spotting device.
Do you serve government and commercial clients?
Yes, we've completed projects at the Pentagon, US Capitol, and major commercial developments across the Mid-Atlantic region.
