Jacksonville's Only True Local GPR Company

Founded in 2002, Xenogenesis RADAR Imaging provided professional ground penetrating radar services throughout Atlanta and the Southeast for over 20 years, scanning thousands of commercial projects. In 2024, we established our Jacksonville Beach headquarters to bring this proven expertise to Northeast Florida.

Unlike national companies traveling from Tampa or Orlando charging $500-$1,200 in travel fees, we're based right here in Jacksonville Beach. This means zero travel fees within 30 miles of downtown, same-day service availability, and technicians dedicated to serving the Jacksonville market.

When project delays cost thousands per day and a single utility strike can run into six figures in repairs, professional concrete scanning isn't optional—it's essential project insurance.

Professional GPR equipment used for concrete scanning

Our Concrete Scanning Services

Professional ground penetrating radar (GPR) and concrete scanning services for commercial, industrial, and government projects throughout Jacksonville and Northeast Florida.

GPR scanning in progress on commercial building

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Advanced GPR technology accurately locates rebar, conduits, post-tension cables, and embedded utilities without damaging your concrete structure. Real-time subsurface imaging for safe construction.

Post-tension cables in concrete structure

Post-Tension Detection

Critical safety service preventing catastrophic cable strikes that can cost $150,000+ in emergency repairs. Specialized detection for commercial buildings and parking structures.

Rebar reinforcement visible in concrete

Rebar Locating & Mapping

Precise location of reinforcement steel and stressed cables prevents catastrophic failures during cutting and coring operations. Essential for safe drilling between rebar.

Core drilling after GPR scan

Utility Locating

Identify electrical conduits, plumbing lines, HVAC systems, and fire suppression infrastructure before any concrete work begins. Prevent expensive utility strikes.

Technician marking scan results

Slab Thickness & Void Detection

Accurate depth measurements for structural assessments and void detection identifying delamination that could compromise building integrity.

Construction planning meeting

Documentation & Reporting

Professional scan reports with photographic documentation for building owners, general contractors, and regulatory compliance when required.

How Concrete Scanning Works

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) concrete scanning is a non-destructive testing method that creates real-time images of what's embedded inside concrete structures.

1

Contact & Assessment

Call (904) 835-2193 or submit a request. We'll discuss your project requirements, concrete work planned (coring, cutting, drilling), and any specific concerns about utilities or post-tension cables.

2

On-Site Scanning

Our technician arrives with GSSI ground penetrating radar equipment. We move the GPR antenna across concrete surfaces in a systematic grid pattern, sending radio waves into the concrete that reflect back when encountering embedded objects.

3

Real-Time Analysis

The GPR equipment displays subsurface images in real-time, allowing our technician to identify rebar, conduits, post-tension cables, utilities, voids, and other embedded objects. We determine safe drilling locations and areas to avoid.

4

Surface Marking

We mark located utilities, rebar, and post-tension cables directly on the concrete surface using spray paint or chalk. Clear visual guidance shows contractors exactly where it's safe to drill, cut, or core.

5

Documentation (If Needed)

For projects requiring formal records, we provide detailed reports including scan findings, interpretations, photographs of marked areas, and recommendations for safe concrete work.

6

Project Support

We remain available during your project to answer questions, provide additional scanning if scope changes, or verify safe drilling locations as work progresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is concrete scanning and why do I need it?

Concrete scanning uses ground penetrating radar (GPR) to locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and utilities embedded in concrete before cutting, coring, or drilling. This prevents catastrophic utility strikes, protects workers, and avoids expensive repairs that can cost $150,000 or more for post-tension cable damage.

How quickly can you respond to concrete scanning requests in Jacksonville?

We provide same-day service throughout Jacksonville. Call (904) 835-2193 in the morning and we can typically be on-site by early afternoon. For emergencies, we offer 15-minute response times to most Jacksonville locations. We're locally based in Jacksonville Beach with zero travel fees.

Do you charge travel fees for Jacksonville projects?

No travel fees within 30 miles of downtown Jacksonville. We're located in Jacksonville Beach and unlike national companies from Tampa or Orlando that charge $500-$1,200 in travel fees, our local presence eliminates these costs for the Jacksonville metro area.

What areas of Jacksonville do you serve?

We serve all of Jacksonville including Downtown, Southside, Jacksonville Beach, Medical District, St. Johns Town Center, Baymeadows, Deerwood, and surrounding Northeast Florida areas. We're based in Jacksonville Beach and provide same-day service throughout the region.

How much does concrete scanning cost in Jacksonville?

Concrete scanning costs vary based on project size and complexity. Simple residential scans start around $250-$600. Commercial projects typically range $250-$1,500. Large-scale projects with post-tension detection and detailed reporting can be $250-$5,000+. We provide same-day service at standard rates with no travel fees within 30 miles of downtown Jacksonville.

What is post-tension cable detection and why is it important?

Post-tension cable detection locates stressed steel cables in concrete structures before cutting or coring. Severing a post-tension cable can cause catastrophic structural failure and cost $150,000-$500,000 in emergency repairs. Buildings constructed from the 1970s onward, especially commercial high-rises and parking structures, commonly use post-tension systems.

How accurate is ground penetrating radar for concrete scanning?

Ground penetrating radar typically locates utilities and reinforcement to within 1-2 inches horizontally and provides depth measurements accurate to within ½ inch in most concrete. Accuracy depends on concrete conditions, utility depth, and scan frequency used. Our GSSI equipment provides industry-leading precision.
