Bank of America Tower, Independent Square, VyStar Tower - we scan all downtown Jacksonville commercial high-rises. Same-day service from Jacksonville Beach. Zero travel fees. 23+ years commercial experience.
With over 23 years of RADAR imaging experience including extensive work in Atlanta's commercial high-rises, we bring proven expertise to Jacksonville's downtown towers. We've performed GPR scanning in Jacksonville facilities including the IRS Building downtown, the new Four Seasons Hotel development near the stadium, and Ascension St. Vincent's Riverside Hospital at 1 Shircliff Way.
Our deep understanding of commercial concrete construction - from 1970s post-tension systems to modern composite structures - translates directly to Jacksonville's downtown landscape. Unlike national companies that travel from Tampa or Orlando (charging you 2-3 hours of travel time each direction), we're local to Jacksonville Beach - just 15 minutes from downtown's commercial district.
Same-day service availability for urgent downtown projects - When a contractor hits an unexpected utility at 2 PM, we can be on-site by 3 PM.
$0 travel fees - National competitors charge $500-$1,200 in travel costs from Tampa/Orlando. Every dollar you spend with us goes toward actual scanning services.
Deep building structure knowledge - 23 years scanning Atlanta's commercial high-rises means we understand these construction systems, eras, and post-tension challenges inside and out.
Immediate emergency response - When post-tension cable strikes or utility conflicts threaten project schedules, we respond within 1-2 hours.

With a 22-24% vacancy rate creating significant tenant improvement opportunities, every renovation project requires precision GPR scanning before cutting, coring, or drilling to avoid costly utility strikes, post-tension cable damage, and project delays.

Jacksonville's tallest building and the tallest structure between Atlanta and Miami. Originally built as the Barnett Center in 1990, this landmark was designed by renowned architect Helmut Jahn and constructed with reinforced concrete throughout.
Owner: Group RMC (New York)
Property Management: CBRE Property Management
Recent Improvements: $4.1 million 9th floor amenity center (2024), elevator modernization
Why GPR Scanning is Critical: As a reinforced concrete structure with dense rebar throughout and complex utility runs serving 42 floors, any cutting or coring work requires precision GPR scanning to avoid striking structural reinforcement, electrical conduits, or HVAC penetrations. The building's postmodern design includes numerous post-tension elements requiring expert detection.
Downtown Jacksonville's second-tallest building and one of the city's most iconic landmarks. Built in 1975 as the Independent Life Building, this tower spans 655,000 square feet and occupies an entire city block adjacent to the Riverwalk.

Recent Improvements: $12.5 million lobby renovation (2021)
Why GPR Scanning is Critical: As a nearly 50-year-old structure, 1 Independent Square has undergone multiple renovation cycles with added utilities, upgraded HVAC systems, and complex electrical runs. Ground Penetrating Radar is essential to map the existing infrastructure maze before any tenant improvement or building renovation work.
One of downtown Jacksonville's most recognizable landmarks featuring distinctive blue LED lighting on its crown. Home to VyStar Credit Union's headquarters and numerous other tenants.
Why GPR Scanning is Critical: Modern tenant improvement projects in this tower require precise detection of electrical, data, and HVAC infrastructure to avoid service disruptions to multiple tenants across 28 floors.
The modern Duval County Courthouse opened in 2012, replacing the historic 1933 courthouse. This contemporary facility serves as the seat of Duval County's judicial system.
Why GPR Scanning is Critical: Government facilities require strict security protocols and zero tolerance for errors. Any infrastructure work demands precision scanning to avoid disruptions to court operations.
